I have another finish to show, and no, I haven't whipped this up after returning home last week from our Anniversary trip. This was completed a week or so earlier. It all started with a unicorn panel looking for a new home from Sew Wot buddy Helen’s stash. Gemma thought those unicorns were well worth checking out.
Unicorn panel
So I cut the panels apart, sashed them with different fabrics from my stash, assembled the blocks and added a purple border. Then one sunny day I pinned the three layers together on the patio table outside.
Next step, all pinned up
There the project stayed for a while, all folded up in the sewing room. Finally, I decided, just get this project quilted, using my favourite serpentine stitch.
Quilting time
After each quilting session, Gemma liked to cuddle up on the WIP and keep it safe for me.
Keeping it safe
With the quilting finished, I enjoyed sitting and hand stitching the binding down, always my favourite part of the process. And here it is at last, all finished. I’m very pleased how it turned out and it will probably be a donation quilt, I’m sure a young girl will love it. But perhaps I’ll just keep it to enjoy for a while before passing it on.
Dream like a Unicorn

Such a sweet panel and I like what you have done with it - Gemma clearly approves of it too!
Gemma is a very willing and helpful assistant in your sewing room. Great use of the unicorn panel! A little girl will love this quilt.

The fabrics you added make the individual panel squares “Pop.” I love the finished quilt.
Very pretty. Well done in using up the panels.
God bless.
They are such amazing projects! Good work.
It’s always such fun to cut up a pretty panel and make a lovely quilt.
I also love the serpentine stitch which I’m always happy you told me how to do it.💖
How nice that you made such good use of Helen's stashed panel. Such a nice and easy make, and rewarding too. Enjoy it, as you should!
I am caught up now on your anniversary trip happenings...what a wonderful time and I'm glad to hear Robin's knee was well too. Very interesting places you visited and I know what you mean about not being able to find certain buildings. Things get modernized or demolished with new in their places. Anyway, good luck with finishing off your sweater and didn't this panel turn into a lovely quilt! Well done.
Clearly your work meets Gemma approval.
What a cute finish and all with help from Gemma!
