Unicorn quilt update
Hi all,
I posted a while back with pictures of my daughter's unicorn and castle quilt. Well I finally bought a used Bernina 750 which I absolutely love, so I could finally attempt quilting my larger quilts myself. You all gave me great advice on how to quilt the top when I posted before. I originally planned on echo quilting each applique a few times, then filling in the background with different themes for each block. I tried that and thought it looked too busy. Then I just kept echoing a few and really love the way it looks. The castle block is done (I think), the unicorn block needs to be filled in some more. I wanted to post a few pictures to see what all of you thought. My echo skills do need some work....

That looks fantastic! I could see a little more echoing to the right of the butterfly, closing the space between the unicorn and the butterfly (like you did with the triangular area in the castle block) and maybe some more echoing in the two lower corners, or you could add a motif (like the quilted cloud you added to the castle block). Or you could fill it in completely with echoes. Either way, I think it will be beautiful.
