Zelda: The Quilt-Along — The Fairy

Posted Sunday, March 15th, 2015 in Quilting | Read More

Are you ready to make The Fairy — the second block of our Zelda: The Quilt-Along? We have our full list of fabric and tool requirements are located here, which includes yardage for fabric for the entire quilt.

The second block that we will be making is The Fairy, which was an integral part of The Legend of Zelda game. The Fairy was an item that Link, our hero, could use to replenish his health or even bring himself back from death. Throughout the game, Link would battle his enemies and often lose his health, sometimes even dying to these foes. If Link came across a fairy within the land, he could use it to replenish his health fully. If Link captured a fairy and kept it in his backpack, he could bring himself back from death should he die in combat.

The Fairy will be constructed in the same manner as the first block, The Candle, however the size is different. The Fairy block grid is 9 squares across and 17 squares down and it uses the following colors of fabric:
Black
Kona: Black
White
Kona: White
Yellow-Orange
Kona: Cheddar
Red
Kona: Red

You can download the pattern which contains the layout of the individual squares for The Fairy (Block 2) here.
