Horse quilt

Wow, those are really nice quilts, but WOW on that southwestern horse quilt, I absolutely love that one.
How about the running horses, horse heads, what style of riding is she into? There are a lot of beautiful fabrics with different styles of riding.
Try quiltwhinny on ebay. I just bought a lot of fabrics from her & she has wonderful horse material & she is a quilter PLUS, horse lover as well.

Don't worry about it being too masculine....I was a little girl horse lover, teenage
horse lover and am a grown woman horse lover...the cowboys are just fine. In fact...as long as its "horse related"...it will be just fine and duly loveed.

I have seen a print that is all horses, in shades of brown and tan, something like that is neutral enough that you could combine it with brighter colors, and it would be make a girly horse quilt. I've also seen in an old issue of Quiltmaker (really old, like from 10 or 15 years ago, but if you happen to have back issues, you could check through them) a block that was a horse. Don't remember if it was paper pieced or what. Anyway, if you do a horse block, you could make the horses any color you wanted, from hot pink to more natural colors.

I would appreciate any ideas on how to use the horse print but still have it be age appropriate. thanks ( I do not have the fabric yet but hopefully will be getting tomorrow)

I used the Wilmington print Morning Run for the horse wallhanging I made for my neice. The sashing had a batik with coordinating green, gold, and some pink in it that lended itself to the dark burgundy red tones in the backgrounds of the print. Just click on Search and type in Horsing Around to see the print I'm talking about. Those however, are not the one for my neice, but it will give you an idea.
