Once again, my sweet customers have steered me in a fun direction. “Unicorns” keep popping up in conversations and so many people want them for pillows and quilts.
Here is my Unicorn Block that measures 8″x 8″ square and is perfect for a pillow, as pictured below.
I love the 1 block version because its fast, but I also wanted a full body unicorn.
This Large Unicorn is constructed with 6 blocks and measures 15″ wide x 22.5″ high. My intention is to use this unit in the center of a quilt and add some borders. I haven’t gotten around to doing a complete quilt pattern yet, but I can envision some paper pieced butterflies as cornerstones. How would you complete this unicorn into a quilt?
“Watercolor” by Moda inspired me to make the unicorn mane very colorful. This is a lovely fabric line and comes in scrumptious colors.
For the horn, I stitched some stripes with silver metallic embroidery floss, but a fun striped fabric could work, too.
I also want to share a photo from Edith of a cute tote she designed using my Easter Bunny 2 Block.
She did a great job! Keep your photos coming. It inspires me to see what you are doing with my patterns.

Like the unicorn- can it be modified to a horse?
Hi Karen, Sure, you could skip the horn and turn it into a horse. I also have a zebra pattern that I use as a horse. I’ll try to attach a link.
Nice unicorn. Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and congrats on your finish!
So pretty! Love the colors!
I admire anyone who designs paper piecing patterns, and your unicorn is adorable! Those watercolor fabrics are great and would look fab in so many patterns I like. 🙂
Beautiful unicorn and the fabrics are perfect for it.
super cute unicorn designs! I also love that they are colorful.
The unicorn blocks are awesome! The fabrics you used really pop and are so perfect!
