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.

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.

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
