I am making quilts for grandkids and need some help from this board. One of my granddaughters is adopted--African-American. She's two and loves princess, fairy, girlie stuff. I don't make quilts that are too juvenile because I will probably only get to make one quilt for them, so I've avoided juvenile, Disney, etc. Sooo...I am wondering if anyone has seen any fabric that's quilt-quality material with a princess or fairy who is a princess/fairy of color??

sorry, of all the fairy prints i have seen, african american isn't one of them. actually most of them are some weird peachy tone unrelated to any human coloring. i know it is difficult to find any ethnic representation in quilt fabric. good luck.

I'll help you look! Be back.

man, I couldn't find any. Just this one, but she's disney

It is a polyester blend, but it is a step in the right direction.

Also, check this site out. It appears to be a site for African American quilters. It includes a blog, so you might be able to post a question and get a response from someone.

Does she like Tiana from the Princess and the Frog? It's a Disney print, but that's as close as I could come when I googled for my own daughter.

I found a whole blog dedicated to just African American Fabric. Did not read the whole thing but I bet it has good info on it. Good luck in your search.

Check out on the Disney Website for fabric and it seems like I remember seeing some when I was seaching for Tinkerbell fabric, there. Hope that you will be able to find some somewhere, if I come across any I will let you know.
