Title: I-Spy....A Unicorns
Made by: Me (Polly Carlson)
Size: Approx 42"x56"
Division: ROYGBIV
Techniques: Home Machine Quilting, freezer paper stenciling, fabric printing. There are 2 or 3 duplicate squares, but otherwise, each print is different.
I made this quilt for my newest niece. My brother and his wife choose pretty unique names for their kids that have meanings and stories behind them.
So I started having a little fun and added a few. I used fabric marker and some paint to turn a few horses into unicorns.
I also used some freezer paper stenciling to add a few unicorns in some other places.
And perhaps my favorite, but least recognizable unicorn is the Monoceros constellation on the back. (My husband mentioned there was a unicorn constellation after the whole quilt was finished and ready to mail off, so of course I had to add it to the night sky fabric.

Precious. I love all the additions and the constellation is genius.
ReplyDeleteI still love this quilt. Adding the extra little unicorns with the fabric paint is such a fun, unique idea. I might have to borrow the constellation idea for a future quilt :)
ReplyDeleteI love all those unicorns! So clever and how fun to search for them! Great quilt, thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty special! I love that you've hidden unicorns all over it.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt, like the way the colours are grouped and appreciate the effort and creativity that went into all those unicorns!
ReplyDeleteSo clever to add all those unicorns in, though I think the hidden unicorn on the back is the best :)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I love a quilt of simple squares made beautiful by the fabrics and simplicity--not to mention the backstory!
ReplyDeleteWonderful!! what fun to search for so many unicorns
ReplyDeleteI love that you added the unicorn constellation to the back. It just finishes off the quilt, plus adds to the, dare we say, educational aspect of an i-spy quilt! Now she can learn how to "spy" a unicorn in the night sky!!
