You all are finishing things right and left! Judie Fleming made a Magical Unicorn 18” pillow for her granddaughter. Judie reports that her granddaughter really likes it, as do I!
I have to admit that I never thought of making the block into a pillow, but that is a fantastic idea! I asked Judie how she got the pattern that small and it turns out that she enlarged the color photo and traced the pattern from that. Quilters are such creative thinkers!
Thank you, Judie, for sharing!

Laurie Schierer took my Pick-Up Sticks class at the Hands All Around Quilt Guild a couple of weeks ago in Normal, IL. Not only is her quilt amazing, it is also quilted and bound! Way to go, Laurie! (The Pick-Up Sticks pattern is in my book, The Quilter’s Practical Guide to Color.)
During the design part of this class, we put together student blocks in a variety of sets. It occurred to me that you could add triangles to the blocks to form a center (wonky) square. Laurie ran with that idea and I’m so glad she did!
Here are just a few of the other settings, combining student blocks, that we played with:

It must be the season for finishing quilts because I have another one to share. Colleen Coiner sent in her version of the unicorn quilt. She made it for her 7 year old great-granddaughter who just loves unicorns. Isn’t it wonderful!
This is a quilt that is going to be loved and hugged, a lot! Thank you, Colleen, for sharing it with us!
