I showed him the panel and he said yes of course. (He's a native Texan, and proud of it.)

I found a photo online of this quilt in different colors and copied it. It was a bear. I think I made it three times. Getting all the pieces of the panel sashed and lined up was tough. I would think I had it right and then I would sew it together. It was either crooked or not even or something. So, I'd rip and start over. The stars were my first attempt at applique. I only made them twice.

(Please don't post my quilt to pinterest.)

I do not have a photo of it after it was quilted. I sent it to the longarmer.
