Seven years ago Suzanne requested a quilt for her grandchild, a boy Cole. See “Grandma’s Boy” October 2012. Well, time passes and now she has a granddaughter, Dani, and she requested another quilt. This one she wanted “unicorn-ish”. I didn’t have any unicorn fabric, but fabric.com came through with this line. I bought a fat quarter bundle and yardage for the unicorn feature, sashing, backing, and binding. The simple pattern was taken from a quilt kit I saw on the internet. The pattern is simple squares and rectangles. The hardest part was getting all the hearts, unicorns, rainbows, and castles pointing the same direction, but I did! The pattern had to be easy because Mother had just broken her neck and with all the hospital, doctor, rehabilitation visits I didn’t have much time. Seven weeks after the request the quilt was done! It must be some sort of record given all the impediments to my sewing and quilting time!
