Guess what we have for you today! A free sewing pattern for a marvelous sewing project that might transport you to fantasy lands! Well, at least that was our impression when we first saw the Timeless Treasures panel fabric used for this colorful quilt 🙂 There is something very unicorn-like in the astoundingly Painted Horse that gives name to this design, something that points to fairy tale dreams and other feats of the imagination. Isn’t it just wonderful that clever textile design can take you so far away? The dark background in black, with a hint of the Northern Lights above and the reflection of colors on the water splash covering the hoofs, is the perfect setting for the horse to stand out. This gorgeous fabric was designed by the very talented Chong-A-Hwang.

We’ve included 2 versions the finished quilt, which measures about 105cm x 151cm. As you can see, the quilt design is pretty simple, and you do not need to be a skilled nor experienced sewing enthusiast in order to give it a try. However, the final result looks absolutely gorgeous! The panel is framed by a beautiful and vibrant fabric, with colorful spots in the Aurora Borealis/Rainbow palette used for the horse’s background. A strip of black seems to divide this main frame, and two corner star blocks with some triangular “flying geese” seem to be cut out of it so that the fabric underneath shows. (Of course, this is just a trick, you will have to create a few blocks with triangles and squares to obtain such a visual effect!)

We are adding pictures of some other fabrics as possible backing for the quilt, too. Hopefully you will get carried away by inspiration, and share with us a great image of your finished project! Good luck!
