thinking more about that cowboy fabric...lol. She would probably get a kick out of that being the backing! I can hear her now..."See the quilt my momma made? she got my friends to sign it and put my favorite horses on it...AND she put HOT cowboys on the back to keep me warm! lol! DD likes her farmboys and cowboys....no city boys for that girl. She will tell you real fast though that horses are better cause boys break your heart.

French braid is very easy and looks great as a border!

I've not done that before though so how hard is it? Like I said I'm still just playing with the idea in my head...haven't set down to draw anything out yet. If I do the applique horse though I can put on the names of some of her favorite horses and I can use fabric I already have instead of buying any so that idea is way out front right now.
