Cowboy Quilt Finished

I started this quilt during a power outtage we had earlier this year and I finally got it quilted, bound and gave away. It only needs a label.






It's a BQ quilt and was quite easy to put together. I was real happy the way it turned out.



Does anybody else have their quilt-holders stand on the back of a pickup? I had to make sure their hands were clean 'cause they had been working on the combine!





The cowboy panto has cowboys, boots, horses, hats and lasso's in it. I was real happy how it turned out. The backing is black, but out in the sun it looks washed out.

Here's an upclose picture of the front, if you'd like to see more of the cowboy fabrics. I've been collecting these for awhile and probably have enough fabrics left to make two more of these.

Does your quilt pattern have a name? I love the way it's laid out.
I've never had anyone stand on the back of a truck but may need to use that idea some time. :)

I LOVE it! I have that pattern, but have never tried it. I grew up on a huge farm in Missouri so I enjoy reading your blog.

Hey girl, this quilt looks great! I have the pattern and fabric too but not ready to make it yet. It's on the list of quilts to do...The quilting looks so nice.

That's awesome!!! You are so inspiring, makes me want to get stuff out and sew something (but dang if all my fabric and stuff isn't in storage in the very front of the semi-trailer).

Love this! Western fabrics, what's not to love!
I've been saving mine for a Turning Twenty quilt.

I like this quilt! And I love the picture at the top of your blog. We saw lots of windmills when we were on vacation last year and I am amazed at how many there are now.
