I saw this in the lobby of a hospital and loved it! I've been working on the pattern and about have it looking good. I'm using denim for the upper part of the boot, and for the foot of the boot I"m using western theme fabric. It's a devil to do, so it will only be wall size. Sara

that is a wonderful quilt. I like how some boots are one way, others backwards. That is a good looking quilt!!!!!

Well, this is like a ghost from the past! I worked on drawing a pattern to patchwork it, and it looked pretty stupid. So I worked on a pattern to paper piece it, and it was better. So, the story goes that I only got two of the boots done. I'd suggest that you could print out the boot from the photo, and work on making it a paper pieced one. Sorry I can't help you more. Sara

Wish I could help! You have as much as I do; the photos. Perhaps some of our quilting board buddies are more talented and can draw a pattern? Sara

Let me see if I can explain the design I developed for my brother's quilt. I took the western pictures, and did pretty much what it sounds like your sister did. Do you know the big letters that the graffitti artists do? Balloon letters, I think they are called. I found that by doing a capital printed E ... using the balloon technique, I could turn the E any number of ways to create an interesting quilting western look ... I practiced on a few sheets of paper with a pencil before going on to the quilt, and used gold thread (dark yellow) and it just is a good looking color and quilting against the western themed panels and blocks. I can hardly wait to see your finished pictures ...
The inspiration for what I was doing were various brands I had seen, growing up ... and what I had learned from paper piecing the brand my dad ran ...
