    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?

    http://www.thousandsofbolts.com/inde...oduct_ID=45322

    and it's only $4.25 a yard!

    Rope fabric would look great too:

    They both would look good with the fabric I have. I was telling one of my co-workers about finding this fabric and lunch. Then I get this message, and show her your response and she laugh.
