Three baby quilts in as many months. Granted, I didn’t sew one of them (see previous post), but still…that’s a lot of quiltage. And I’m almost done a fourth. Only nine months behind schedule on that one.
Anyhoo, here’s Tyler’s quilt. 
If you can’t tell, he had a cowboy theme going. His mom had already made some bedroom accessories from the green, red, and cowboy print fabrics, and gave me the extras so the quilt would fit in even better.
The horse is one I found in a book, but had to redraft from an 8″ by 11ish” applique to a 2′ by 2′ square. The fabric for the body I’d had hanging around for almost 8 years–it was leftover from a shirt my mother made for a former roommate. I used double batting to give the body depth, hand-quilting it once as a 2′ by 2′ section, then sewing it into the main quilt and hand-quilting it again. I think the fringed mane and tail are my favorite part. They’re so much fun to play with 
I’m hoping to have the last (whew) baby quilt done by the end of this week, so I’ll get that up as soon as I can.
