Slight Change of Plan

Ok, so Cowboy Quilt 1 is now Cowgirl Quilt. I have this wonderful cowgirl fabric and denim.

I didn't have enough of everything to make a quilt though and I didn't have enough money to get fabric. Solution.... GOODWILL! I found 4 100% cotton shirts that match perfectly. They are all different too. I got them home, washed them, and then started destruction!

The denim squares are from an old pair of my jeans. Each will be embroidered with a cowgirl. I have 2 done.

The larger cowgirl print will be the main border and I am going to back it with a plaid flannel I think.

I have 6 more denim squares to embroider then I start piecing. More to come!

Need more space...

It seems that I can outgrow a sewing room very quickly. Last night I brought some of the fabrics for my cowboy quilt into the living room to spread out and look at. I think I have come up with 2 different quilts. Here are some of the materials for the 1st one.

These are some of my old jeans and pajama pants. I think it will work well. When I get the top done I will take it in and find a nice, soft, western flannel to back it with. I want it to feel like an old flannel shirt.

I did finish the inside of the top I started this weekend.

I now have to find some bordering, backing, and binding fabric for it. That will have to wait till I actually have money to buy said fabric. Sigh. I think I am going to go with a 4 inch border.

Off to design more of Cowboy Quilt 1.
