Jill Howarth Beauty & The Beast Rolie Polie 40 2.5-inch Strips Jelly Roll Riley Blake RP-9530-40

Fabric roll of 40 2.5-inch by 44-inch (width of fabric) strips from the Beauty & the Beast collection by designer Jill Howarth for Riley Blake Designs. Growing up, I loved the original versions of fairy tales, as scary as they sometimes were. Beauty, as she is called in the actual book, has a story similar to Cinderella. She has two evil, selfish sisters and a kind, loving father. When I decided to do this collection, I wanted to represent Beast as he is in the original, a sad, lonely figure, not really very menacing, just well...beastly. He showers Beauty with gifts, asking her to marry him over and over until she ultimately realizes she loves him. I hope you enjoy creating this classic tale of finding true love.
