My granddaughter asked for either a wall hanging or a quilt with horses, blue and fall as the theme. I thought I would do a wall hanging, but this is what I ended up with. I found the free horse picture online at
www.shutterstock.com and just blew it up to the size I needed, then designed around it. So the appliqued center panel is 24 x 32. I quilted the center with outlines of mountains and clouds at the top and scattered ____\|/____ to represent grass at the bottom. I chose pinwheels and flying geese because they "fly" in the wind. The flying geese have hearts quilted, and in the pinwheels I did a squiggle connecting the darker wings. The 2 blue inside borders have continuous leaves. I just quilted simple diagonal lines in the outside border. I am really pleased with how it turned out. It is the first quilt that I have designed.
