This is another project that I'm proud of. It is the 5th thing that I'd ever made. I had no pattern, no clue as to what I was doing, only a daughter who kept saying, "You can do it"! It was for my GS for Christmas. I just worked in rounds until I thought it looked right and then did something else. I started this at the end of Nov at my daughters in Nebraska. I came home Dec. 8 and then worked on it to finish it and mail it back to NE by Christmas! I was sooo afraid that I wouldn't get it made and sent in time. Then, after I got the top made which was 90" x 106", I did that Stitch in the Ditch to quilt it since my GS doesn't like tied quilts. I made the quilt and then used some of the scraps to make the pillows, which I sent to NE for my daughter to stuff. I think it turned out really good considering that I had absolutely NO Clue what I was doing!

Oh this is great!
My cousin would LOVE this!

Great work!

Very nice!

Very, very nice!

Awesome job! Too bad it's the Broncos :) JUST KIDDING! It looks SOOOOO great!!

Wow. For not knowing what you were doing you did great. It looks like you have been making quilts for years. I can see why he loved it.

Not a huge Broncos fan. But I really like the quilt. :thumbup:

May I ask what pattern you used? My grandson would love that quilt but I would have to change it to OU

Hi there! As I said at the beginning of the post, I was new to quilting (3 months) when my daughter asked me to make it for my GS. I had no pattern and no idea of what I was doing actually, so I just worked in rounds until it looked alright and it needed something different and then I'd do something else. I just kept working on it until it was big enough for my bed which is Queen like my GS's. No pattern needed----Just make one! LOL It was fun and turned out ok without one.

You did a great job!! I can see why your grandson loved it. Keep up the good work and keep posting those pictures. :thumbup:

wow you are brave I'm not sure I'm that brave. I have been quilting a short time took my first class at the local QS did block of the month so took me a year.
It would be a challenge but hey why not, tell me do you remember what size blocks you cut? My GS would be so thrilled so I will have to try. I will be having total knee replacement next week so will have a long recovery and lots of time to cut blocks I just hope I will be back to my machine real soon as I will go crazy not being able to sew.

I used 2 1/2" squares for the main ones and I think I used 4" for the 2 rows above and below the center part to make it more rectangular like it should be. The center block is a 12".

Good Luck! You'll be surprised at how easy it is.

thank you so much I will let you know how it turns out will work on it while I recover from my knee surgery.

What a wonderful job :thumbup:

nice job

my son would love this quilt,it is beautiful !!! where did u get the pattern, the picture of the bronco horse did u get it from another pattern or fabric. and the rim of horses i havent found any material yet with that design here in ohio.

Hi there! Thank you! I didn't have a pattern for this. I just worked it in rounds until I thought it looked good and then did something else. I purchased 2 different Denver Bronco fabrics at JoAnns in NE. On the first page, the next to the last picture, you can see the 2 fabrics that I bought. That is where I got the horse head. If you can't find the Bronce fabric locally, I'm sure you could find some online. Good luck.

that is way cool.I have a friend who is a broncos fan,might have to make something like that for next christmas

Awesome!

What a GREAT Job. My nephew is graduating high school in June and loves the Bronco's. Like you I am just learning. My question is, how did you match the orange and blue? I mean the shade. Or did you just use an orange and blue that you liked. I am placing my order with Joann's Fabric.

Any advice is appreciated. How much fabric did you use?

2nd questions, the material that has the Bronco's Helmet did you purchase that from Joann's also. I was able to find the material with the white and orange printed words on it but don't seem to be able to find the one with the helmet.

Thanks
Patty
