Patchwork Quilt !!!!!


Finally finished after about 2 years.  The design is from Sweet Pea and all of her designs stitch out great.  There are 192 x  5 inch squares and 120 of the triangle border blocks.   I had to bring my sewing machine out to the kitchen table to put the quilt together.   Once I started I decided to get it finished.  There was a lot of push and shove getting the quilt through the machine.  It was to have a scallop around the bottom of the quilt but decided against as it would have been too hard to get a nice even scallop, so I decided to bind it.  The quilt is for my grandsons 21st Birthday, I hope he likes it.

Cowboy Quilt..........



I forgot about this quilt I made many years ago for my son, he was in Pony Club .   About 35 to 40 years ago there was not much to choose from in the way of fabric for boys and I was extremely happy to find this cowboy panel.    I never quite got it finished before he left home and got married so I thought I would give it to his son,   Matthew loves motorbikes and is not into horses...My other grandsons are into football and are not interested in it.  I will keep it till someone comes along who loves horses.  Maybe a Great Grandson.........
