cowboy up.

by @according2kelly on April 24, 2008

thought i’d take a moment to document one of my more recent adventures in quilting (click on picture to enlarge it). the fabric for this quilt have been sitting in my closet for over a year. luckily, some gals & i threw a cowboy themed baby shower & that was all i needed to get my butt in gear & whip this bad boy up. although, i did experience a few minor set-backs. for example, while cutting my fabric i realized i didn’t have enough of the main “cowboy” fabric. fortunately for me, at that exact aha! moment, a girlfriend was visiting of of the fabric meccas of the world. unfortunately though, they didn’t have my exact fabric, so i crossed my fingers, said a little prayer, and told her just to pick me up any cowboy fabric that had some red it in. amazingly enough, it all worked out in the end. now, i just have to keep the scissors out of gavin’s hands.

Red white and Blue along with Cowboys? There is nothing more American than that!

I have that fabric here and there in my little boys room! He has a westernish room…

I wish I could just whip something up-Ha!

Love this. There is such cute cowboy fabric out there. I have been wanting to make my husband a cowboy quilt, as his nickname growing up was “little cowboy”. I love the squares pattern. I seem to keep doing the same ol’ patch pattern. I may follow this one!

I grew up watching cowboys on TV, and playing cowboys with T. I am glad a new generation is enjoying the genre. Your boys seem made to ride bucking broncos and chase the bad guys off the ranch!
