"The Princess and the Pea" is a fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. The story is about a prince who insists on marrying a real princess. When a woman comes to his door claiming to be a real princess, the prince's mother tests her by burying a pea under a huge stack of mattresses and then ordering the woman to sleep on the mattresses. The pea represents the work that we have to do, while the princess represents the system or the people that operate the system.
My challenge is to use several patterned papers to represent the quilts
Hearts to represent the love the Prince was trying to find.
Circles to represent the pea.
