Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? Something Magical...

Hi, all!

Another week has flown by (is it REALLY less than 3 months until Christmas?) and it's Friday again!  And that means it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on - so let's get started!!

*&*&*&*&*&*&*


When I spotted this pattern on Lorna's website, I knew I had to have it for a certain little girl who is a unicorn (when she's not a mermaid)!  I decided that this would be Emmy's annual quilt this year.  I knew it would be perfect, especially after I asked her what her favorite color was, and she answered, "Rainbow!"

On Tuesday afternoon, I started cutting out the quilt.  There are lots and lots of pieces, but the pattern is very well written and it was easy to keep track of what I was cutting.  


A little later I started putting the pieces together.  I was amazed at how quickly these sections assembled!


A little bit more, and the unicorn starts to emerge...


And now you can see her nose!


A big diagonal seam across the corner, and she's finished!!  Ok, well maybe not finished at this point - I did add borders to take it up to 60" square.


And when the sun decided to come out, I ran outside to get a shot in the beautiful light!

So - - - can I get a whoop whoop?

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

And now it's your turn!

What's got you whooping it up this week?


What's making you do a little happy dance?

Share!  We want to dance right along with you.

And it's always more fun to dance with friends!

The party will stay open until Sunday midnight.

Hope to see you there!

Hugs!

  4. I saw a fleece unicorn pillow on Pinterest earlier this week. Super easy to make. It would go great with the quilt.

  7. The unicorn looks a lot more complicated than you make it sound. I'm sure she'll love it!

  10. Wow, that was super fast. I bet it felt good after all the piecing needed for Lilianna's quilt.
