The Once Upon a Time Castle is 9″ Wide x 10″ Deep x 15″ High. Every piece is completed in the hoop, then the castle is tabbed together. You only need a 5″ x 7″ hoop to make the castle. If you have larger hoops, you’ll be able to make fewer sections! Step by step instructions to complete the castle and moat are included.
This super sturdy castle has a drawbridge that can be lowered over the moat, a portcullis that raises, a beautiful ballroom floor with French doors that open to the courtyard in the back, a sweet tower bedroom, lots of windows, and pretty vines all around. For a more traditional castle, the vines, flowers, and birds can be left out. On the upper level of the castle, there are little openings in the four corner towers for tiny hands!
The Moat quilt squares are included in 5″ or 6″ blocks. The 5″ blocks will make a 16” x 16” moat. The 6″ blocks will make an 18½” x 18½” moat. The moat is designed to be part of the Once Upon a Time Quilt (coming soon), but you can also use it as a stand-alone base for the castle.
Once you finish your castle, you will want to make the rest of the village! You can find the Once Upon a Time Collection here. Click here to find the Charming Collection by A Bit of Stitch.
CLICK HERE to find my amazing SNIPS. You will need them to cut around all the little tabs. They’re super sharp, and they have a serrated edge, so they cut fabric! I used this WASH AWAY STABILIZER to make all of the pieces in the castle.
Hoop Size: 5″ x 7″ (an 8″ x 12″ or 9″ x 14″ hoop will come in handy!!)
