Come swing your rope,
The cows in the meadow
Better hit a lope.
Where's the lil boy that looks after the beast?
Nodding in his saddle fast asleep!
Another finish! This is a baby quilt for friends - who are of course having a boy and live on a ranch!
Simple machine quilting - mostly straight line cross hatching through the blocks and fence rails in the border. I did FMQ the setting triangles and the white blocks of the nine patches. Look at the toes of a pair of cowboy boots - the FMQ in the setting triangles is my version of "toe stitching"!
It's wonderful and will be loved by the little cowboy for many, many years.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed, as always, Doniene. You have an eye for what looks good on the quilt and your curved lines are smooth and flowing. What a great little cowboy quilt. Yee-haw!
ReplyDeleteVery nice baby quilt... and one that will transition easily to young man-hood too!
ReplyDeleteThe cowboy fabric is very cute... I know this quilt will be appreciated!
Happy Saturday my friend, I hope the book arrived-if not you should have it by Monday. O.k. now about the quilt-it is so perfect for a boy. I'm wondering if you could share the name of the pattern(if you didn't design it yourself)-I'm thinking I'd love to make one for my youngest grandson for Christmas. Your machine quilting is great, as always. Wish we lived closer-you could teach me so much!
