Cowboy Baby Quilt
My cousin is married to a bareback rodeo rider. They just had their first son and I had the joy of making their new baby a quilt. I steered clear of the normal baby boy tones and incorporated a horse applique. I was a bit nervous about that because I wanted to use the minke from the back of the quilt in the applique to make it fuzzy and soft. Not only did it work better than I imagined, but I also used the minke to applique his name, Cayuse. His mama and daddy loved it, non-traditional colors and all.
