Unicorn Garden Quilt Tops

 I needed to make 4 of the Unicorn Garden quilts. 
 I have one completely finished. 
 I finished 2 tops at the last quilt retreat. 
 Well, I just finished the 4th top! 
 I had to gather up the backings and get them ready to send to the quilter.  
Thought I would show them all together here.
Each one is slightly different, not just the colors either.
Can you post the differences?

This was the first top.
  I have since gotten it quilted and it is bound! I don't have a photo of it yet.


Here are the next 2 that I finished at the retreat.



The last one.
Probably my favorite one too.
I loved each one the best as I was making them, though.



Here are a few facial close ups.
I added eyelashes to these.
The first one did not have eyelashes.




The backing I used on the first one was a hot pink with medium sized white polka dots.

I chose a sparkly unicorn backing for this one.


For the peach unicorn I chose this adorable flannel.


For the fourth and final one I chose this silky, soft sateen for the backing.


My little herd of unicorns went to the quilter today!
I'm not in any hurry to get them finished.
I did make all the bindings today too.

Which is your favorite unicorn?
1, 2, 3, or 4?

It's so difficult to choose!!

Unicorns Galore

 I made a unicorn quilt previously to pattern test the Unicorn Garden pattern by Apples and Beavers.
You can find the pattern here if you need one in your life.
It is a very well written, easy to follow pattern.
Do you remember it?
I didn't have anyone specific in mind to give it to.
My sister-in-law told me that her grandgirls would LOVE a unicorn quilt.
In this case it means I would have to make 3 more since there are 4 girls.
I decided I would make them so began the adventure of cutting them all out.
I hope to sew at retreat in February.
I am adding a crown to 2 of them and a bird to one.

Here is my original quilt top, prior to quilting.


The horn, crown and bird are all paper pieced.
I have finished 2 horns and 2 crowns.
I have one entirely cut out and am working my way through the second one.
I just have the background left to cut for that one.



I can't wait to get to the next one so I can make the horn and the bird!

What are you working on?
