My personal opnion is to not try to be too authentic buT maybe do the cowboy boot in colorful modern fabrics, or There is a cowboy on bucking bronco applique pattern that would be darling done w fusibles, try it with various small print ground with black cowboy as if in silhouette. I have the pattern somewhere but I bet you could google it and download it free. Or, find a color book and trace something.Make it a fun project. Antoher idea would be vatious branding logos in black with checks or bandana print fabrics. Sounds like an exciting project. BTW, I grew up 19 miles west of Dodge City, KS. Dad homesteaded a farm there.
