Unicorn quilt
I am almost finished quilting my daughters unicorn quilt. All of you gave me such wonderful advice when I was trying to determine how to quilt it. I went with echo quilting on each block. I tried some other designs (flowers, etc.) but I just felt like it made the blocks look too busy and detracted from the unicorns, so I ripped out stitches and tried the echoing. My question is some of the unicorns and castles have pretty large, applique pieces and they are not lying flat and are a bit wavy. I hadn't planned on quilting within the designs, but thought maybe I should do something very simple here and there so the unruly appliques lie a bit flatter - or should I even worry about it?? Thanks so much for any advice!

Very cute! I would outline stitch a few of the pieces like the windows in the castles, around the unicorns face or nose etc. between one fabric and another. It will take a bit of tieing and hiding the thread ends in the quilt but it will help anchor some of the larger appliqués. The small appliqués should be fine.

Thanks so much! She has definitely seen the quilt, I have been working on it over a year so I would have never been successful in hiding it.
