I would say find one more piece of fabric with a horse and make that your center block and focal point! I have used the same boot fabric in a quilt for my DH.

Check this out. I could use the Endless Summer pattern from MacBeth's Past Project (Allpeoplequilting) and find a nice sashing. Then do a silhouette of a cowboy in four corners of the sashing.

Wouldn't this bandana material look great with that fabric?

and it's only $4.25 a yard!

Rope fabric would look great too:
