Thanks, folks, that is what I was thinking about it on the wall...trim down on the cowboys....its one of Laura Aaron Hird's books, the middle one now, called the Farmers Wife Pony Club patterns based on the letters of 99 children who wrote the magazine a 'thank you' note for their pony plus cart, harness, saddles, and bridles won in the contests. I made it special for DD and DGS, including pictures of our girls first horse ride, GFIL with his horses, etc., including my drawing of a horse, relating stories about each block in the blank places in the book. I do have the first Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt quilted and hanging on my wall in our home. The third book, Farmer's Wife 1930, was just published and Honchey is leading us again in; the Books of the Month and Weeks section starting Tuesday, August 4th, 2015, doing two paper piecing blocks a week.
Apparently, there is a thing about too many cowboys on a fence...at least, in quilt borders! LOL. It brought back memories of childhood riding ponies and later, horses until our family was growing and demanding my time and energies. I spent a lot of hours doing this quilt and enjoyed every minute....almost! Not the ripping out so much on the blocks!
