Use it as a center panel. Build a quilt around it.

I saw this one done as a OBW and it was beyond cute. Sweet dreams for sure for some lucky guy. I could have never sliced through those bodies, LOL

Personally I prefer the one with the cowboys...lol

Don't have any suggestions for the girlie fabric, but my DGD saw the hunky cowboys and thought I should get it because it looked like the guys that installed my fence and trimmed my trees. (You had to be there.....) :roll: :lol:


LOL!

I love crazy_quilter's idea of the puss in the corner block (I think that's the name of it) idea is great, but I have to admit, I like the cowboy fabric a little better. Nothing like a cowboy with muscles and an open shirt to brighten your day. Just saying.

Several years ago I had the cowboy fabric and I made my SIL an apron from it - also saw it as an ironing board cover - maybe that would make me like ironing. Haha

I made a quilt of a Rt66 pattern in "attic window" pattern.

I love that!! Is that supposed to be Dale Evans? A couple of years ago I made my daughter an apron using 1940's bathing beauties. The pattern is the 4 corner apron. As it is a directional print, cutting it would be tricky, but wouldn't that be cute using some kind of cowboy print as a compliment?

I love the pillowcase idea!!
