Both Magical Unicorn Wall Hangings are Finished!

It feels great to have finally finished and gifted both of these colorful unicorn wall hangings!

The Magical Unicorn

I had lots of fun sorting through the scrap stash for just the right pieces.

Once I got over the ‘how shall I quilt it’ quandry, machine quilting was also fun.

Here is a look at both quilts; the same, yet different:

The Sister Magical Unicorn Update

Remember this project?

The Magical Unicorn

I am finally working on the sister quilt!

Another ombre for the backing…shows all of the ‘oopsies’ with my machine quilting.

I hate it when I have the tension just right and then, for no reason whatsoever, the tension switches up.

It needs readjusting. But I don’t notice, since I am merrily stitching away thinking that all is well in bobbin land.

I don’t pick it out unless it is really bad.

A perfectionist, I am not.

I still have the flowers, the rainbow, and the sky to quilt.

Getting there.

The Magical Unicorn Update

I am not the greatest quilter in the world, so when it comes to backing, I choose a busy print.

I couldn’t find anything that I wanted to use in my stash.

No matter how big and varied the stash is, it is never right for the current project.

The Magical Unicorn

I had no intention of shopping and I had an ombre fabric in the stash.

Solid. Shows every boo-boo.

I went with it anyway.

The sister quilt isn’t started yet. I’ve got a couple of graduations and a garden to attend to, but it is on the radar. I will probably quilt it much the same so that I don’t have to think about how to quilt it (a huge procrastinating road block of mine).
