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

O, I have those cowboys, thinking of using on a bow tuck bag for a friend or grandaughter who is 22.

This is how I would use it.

I buy fabric similar to this to make pillow cases and mail them to soldiers in Afghanistan/Iraq. They love the cowgirl pinups. It only takes 27" of fabric. You can use the remainder as a border on a different pillowcase. These pillow cases are so cute and easy-peasy to make. The fabric is expensive so I don't get to buy it often.
