When I made this quilt I was looking for a traditional look to go with the 1930s fabrics. I like Grandma's Flower Garden quilts, and I like making the centers of the flowers, but not so much all the other pieces to bind it all together. So I made just the centers and appliqued them down onto 6-1/2" white squares. The pony blocks are 12" finished blocks. This setting could be used for any appliques that fit on 12" blocks... it could be cats, dogs, or bunnies!

I think I'm addicted to those 1930's repros. I don't even like horses, but I love that quilt!

Very nice! Is this the same as the book about cats and the one with bunnies????

ChubbyBunny 03-18-2011 05:10 PM

LOVE it!!! :thumbup:

anniec55 03-18-2011 05:16 PM

Wonderful quilt!! very creative and cleaver, like the use of the 30's.... but are the flowers actually pieced and then lined up on the sashing? Sorry, I tend to be a very visual person.

GagaSmith 03-18-2011 05:17 PM

Beautiful! I like it as much as the bunnies you showed recently. Both are awesome.

KellyK 03-18-2011 07:01 PM

Wow! That is so pretty! What kind of thread do you use for the applique?

wolfkitty 03-18-2011 08:17 PM

I love your quilt! GFG is my favorite pattern, and I love the horses, especially the one on his back. Very nice work!

Love the rolling horse. When my daughters three were over at the farm where I used to live, I would watch her gigantic white mare, rolling in the mud and wonder how could she possibly get back up, but she always managed, and she was not a pretty sight by then either.

Olivia's Granma 03-19-2011 03:14 AM

I love your horses and the other quilts you have made. I love the bunny quilt you have posted also. Just got through down loading your order form to order Grandma's Bunnies & also the Cat applique book. They are all precious. You are very talented.

Evelynquilts 03-19-2011 03:26 AM

What A wonderful quilt.... :thumbup:

JoyjoyMarie 03-19-2011 03:51 AM

What a terrific quilt! Love the 30s look, love the cute ponies, love the flowers and you're right- this could be so cute with bunnies, cats or whatever!
