08/29/2007: "hug your horses"
I think my niece should have received this by now, so I can post pictures. Her birthday was in July during my summer camp frenzy, so I just finally got this finished and mailed off to her a week or so ago. I hope she thinks it was worth the wait. Please excuse the appallingly bad pictures - don't know what was up with that. The quilt was inspired by the horse fabric. My niece is a BIG horse lover and rider, so I knew she had to have something with this fabric. The back of the quilt is horseback riding "stuff" - helmets, gloves, boots etc. I wanted to do a little piecework, while still showing lots of meadows, so I did just a stripe of little squares made from all kinds of prints I had in my stash - leftovers from costumes, other gifts and quilts. It's just big enough to snuggle under while you watch a movie or read a book, so I hope it sees lots of use.
