In case your unicorn needs a little bird friend…

You may know Rufus as the best friend of a certain little dragon, but he is also really close with Zaria, you know? So I thought I’d show you how you can easily incorporate a sweet little bird into your unicorn quilt. Just because… 💛

A few notes before we start

• You will need the following quilt patterns:
  • The unicorn and flower quilt: Unicorn Garden (get the pdf or printed booklet)
  • The bird detail: Little Crow (get the pdf)
• The fabric requirements for the quilt top are basically those of Unicorn Garden. Just have some extra scraps at hand for the bird.

Sewing your unicorn and bird quilt

1. Instead of the bb piece of your Unicorn Garden pattern, prepare the following three background pieces:

2. Make a large, right-facing bird block following the Little Crow pattern.

3. RST, sew your BG1 piece to the left of your bird block and press your seam towards the BG1 piece.
4. RST, sew your BG2 piece to the right of your bird block and press your seam towards the BG2 piece.
5. RST, sew your BG3 piece to the top of your bird unit from step 4 and press your seam towards the BG3 piece.

6. Follow the Unicorn Garden pattern using the bird section above instead of a plain bb background piece.

And that’s it! Pretty straight forward, eh?! I can’t wait to see all your sweet unicorn and bird friends! 😎
