Tag Archives: The Magical Unicorn Quilt

I missed the Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenges for July and August.

If you like, you can see why I missed sewing time by visiting this post…She Looks Like A Movie Star.

I decided that I wanted to work with color, rather than start a new project (Project #3 on my list), so I went back to my unfinished May challenge, The Magical Unicorn.

You can see my project list posted here.

I went from deciding to downsize to a pillow, then upsize to the smallest wall hanging.

And now there are two wall hangings!

One is just a bit more saturated in the fabric color choices.

All of the fusing is finished. Yes, there is some shadow showing under some of the pieces. This does not bother me at all. There will be machine stitching and quilting to handle that.

It was very uplifting to work on these two wall hangings! Lots of color, flowers, rainbows, unicorns, and fairies! Sometimes adulting is very hard, and we all need to find that inner child again!

Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge – May Update

I am linking up with other challenge participants over at Dreamworthy Quilts. You might like to check it out!

Have fun and carry on!

I joined up with the Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge for the motivation to move projects forward, and perhaps even finish a few. It has been fun and I’ve even accomplished a few things!

Last January, participants publicly posted a list of 10 numbered projects. Each month a number is drawn, and the corresponding project is worked on. There are linkups where projects can be posted and participants can cheer one another on.

The number 5 was drawn for May. My number 5 is to make Unicorn pillows. You can see my project list here.

I believe I purchased this pattern many moons ago while out shopping somewhere with my daughter.

I did a quick Google check, and The Magical Unicorn Quilt pattern is still available from a variety of places.

I am sure that I had grand plans of making the quilt, but that has long ago gone by the wayside.

However, in looking over the pattern this week, I see it has at least 111 pieces to it!

Whoa!

I am not making pillows, unless I simplify and reduce the size of the pattern (actually doable but will require some effort).

It does contain five sizes, so I am still going to make this unicorn, but in the smallest wall hanging size.

I have begun tracing pieces onto a fusible web (Steam-A-Seam).

That may be as far as I get this month, but that is moving forward!

Who doesn’t need unicorns and rainbows in their life?

Have fun and carry on!
