Twinkle Quilt - Uni the Unicorn

I am so excited to share the most magical quilt today - Twinkle Quilt with Uni the Unicorn fabric designed by Riley Blake Designs. My daughter absolutely loooooves her new quilt!

When I told her I was going to make her a quilt with Uni the Unicorn fabric and that she got to choose the pattern - she was sooooo excited! She looked through my patterns and chose Twinkle so I could fussy cut the block centers. She is so right- definitely a future quilter! (Twinkle pattern available here)

She is quite the quilt supervisor/motivator by asking me daily- "Is my quilt ready to snuggle yet?". Ha! Of course, the Riley Blake Minky backing fabric helped the snuggle factor!

I absolutely love the magical and sweet - Uni the Unicorn Fabric Collection so I did use more prints (plus some Riley Blake Design Basics) than the pattern requires. I couldn't limit myself to 10 prints ;) Just look at them!

Ready to make your own Twinkle -Uni the Unicorn Quilt 
57.5" x 69.5" *

Supplies:

• Twinkle Quilt Pattern (HERE)
• 10 Fat Quarters - Uni the Unicorn by Riley Blake Designs plus Riley Blake Designs Basics. I used more than 10 fat quarters as I couldn't just pick 10 fabrics.
• 1.25 yards Background - Confetti Cottons Petal Pink by Riley Blake Designs
• 1.5 yards Sashing - Uni the Unicorn by Riley Blake Designs
• 1 or 1.5* yard Outer Border - Uni the Unicorn by Riley Blake Designs
• 0.625 yard Binding - Riley Blake Designs 1/8" Peony Stripe
• 3.75 yards Backing - Riley Blake Designs Cloud Minky

OPTIONAL:

AccuQuilt GO! Qube for cutting your half-square triangles - NO trimming! 

or

Bloc-loc Ruler for trimming half-square triangles

Pattern Changes:

I used 1.5 yards Uni the Unicorn Border Fabric because I wanted to make sure Uni was standing up and not on her side ;). I also cut my outer borders at 4.5" x WOF as it worked best for the size of the print. Tip- When piecing border strips, sew them together over a flower or mostly solid part of the print as the seam will be less noticeable. 

I'm so glad that my daughter absolutely loves her new Twinkle Quilt! She also loves that she chose the pattern for her special quilt!

I remembered that I had one more of the With Love Woven Quilt Labels (here)...so I added it to the quilt! She loves it! 

I absolutely loved making this magical Twinkle Quilt with Uni the Unicorn Fabric. I love the unicorns, stars, flowers, and butterflies - simply so sweet!
