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

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?
