I'm working on my first wall hanging now. I have the main body sewn together and am working on the borders now. I'm not terribly happy with the dark brown and dark green that I chose for the outer edges of the background, but I think the border fabric will really brighten it up. The blue diamond of the border will pull to the blue sky of the center piece.

This is my first attempt at border prints, and also my first attempt at mitered borders. We'll see how that turns out.

The pattern is adapted from "Wild About Horses" in the Quick Quilts magazine #89

what a very neat block pattern. It looks familiar...
You are doing a super great job at color/fabric value placement. It's gonna be so nice. Are you a horse lover? ~bonnie
Horses used to be my passion in life and everything centered around them. Now, with grandkids, quilting, and other interests the horses have taken a back seat.
I have two...an older grade gelding and a three year old adopted Mustang. I adopted her as a yearling and gentled her in just a few weeks. Saddle training is this Fall/Winter's project.
