Finally--I finished this quilt. Started it in March and I just now finished it. This is my first picture post so I hope it works. Now I can play with my new embroidery machine!

Yes, she is the new quilt owner. She is crazy over horses and doesn't see why we can't keep one in the garage and backyard!

Pretty fine use of that horse fabric!

scrapatches 07-15-2009 07:02 AM

Beautiful use of this fabric!

I have seen another quilt with that gorgeous "horses in snow" fabric that had a large center panel of the fabric and I must say I like what you have down by fussy cutting the horses

... and the fabrics you have chosen make the colors in the horse fabric just "pop" ...

Jordan looks very happy with her quilt ... great job! :mrgreen: Pat

Pretty. I like blue. It's my favorite color.

NorthernDeb 07-15-2009 07:04 AM

WOW... I LOVE the black sashing... perfect!

Ninnie 07-15-2009 07:05 AM

Beautiful!

Thanks everyone. The black sashing is actually the back. I did it a cross between a rag quilt and a fun and done.

Okay ... I know rag quilt ... but ... I got to know ... what is a "fun and done" ????

pretty please?

It sounds like fun ... :lol: Pat

butterflyquilter 07-15-2009 08:03 AM

actually, fun and doneare special patterns but what I did is: I cut my backing 10" and my batting and top 8" for the horses and the backing 6" (8" for beginning of evry other row in blue) and 2" smaller for batting and top piece. I then quilted it with X and and cross like in a rag quilt. I sewed the rows together with a 1" seam and then folded the backing and stitched it down. I h ope you can understand what I just said. Maybe with the picture you can see what I mean. I like it better than rag quilting because I always have threads all over the house.

One of my sisters had a horse as a teen and brought her into the kitchen once! :lol:

She looks thrilled with that beautiful quilt!

jacquemoe 07-15-2009 01:51 PM

That's a GREAT horse quilt. My gd would love it. I assume Jordan is the one holding it up. She's a cutie and looks alwful happy.

sewnsewer2 07-15-2009 01:57 PM

Oooo, that's pretty!

Ducky 07-15-2009 02:19 PM

I really like the way you outlined your blocks, and the way you staggered them. Great job!

sewjoyce 07-15-2009 03:00 PM

That's really a neat quilt!!! (Gives me an idea about how to make my kitty quilt :lol: )

gangles 07-15-2009 03:35 PM

Now I know what I will do with the animal print I have, and I like how you made the quilt, a great idea.

mountain-moma 07-15-2009 08:11 PM

very pretty's From W.v

gaigai 07-16-2009 02:44 AM

Beautiful! And so is Jordan! It is obvious she is tickled pink by it! Good job.

hereca622 07-20-2009 10:38 AM

What a Great Quilt!! Jordan is a very lucky girl.

It is "pointless", (no points to match), which is my favorite kind. So many things could be substituted for the horses and what a quick and easy baby quilt. Those babies just seem to come faster and faster. :lol:

2wheelwoman 07-20-2009 10:41 AM

Stunning quilt. Like the layout and especially the colors.

littlehud 07-20-2009 07:09 PM

Quilt and holder are great. Thanks for sharing.

wvdek 07-21-2009 06:01 PM

Looks like the quilt has a nice home. She will enjoy it on those cold nites.

earthwalker 07-21-2009 06:21 PM

Beautiful job...and I understand perfectly how Jordan feels about horses...I was the same at that age.

Thanks for explaining the technique and once again I think it's terrific.

Shemjo 07-21-2009 07:07 PM

How pretty, the quilt and the girl! Love how it all goes together! :lol:
