All people quilt, picked #2 as the January UFO project to finish. This is a quilt for my great, great niece! No I am not old enough to be a great, great auntie, but the truth is my niece's daughter has two babies! So it is what it is :) I do have to admit this quilt only needed the binding and label, it was a easy one to get done.
A little background on this quilt, My great niece Tori is a barrel racer and this quilt was started for her. Do you ever have those quilts that just don't work? This was one of those quilts. I found this cute cowgirl rodeo fabric maybe 10 years ago and thought it would be perfect for a quilt for Tori. I kept trying to do different things with it and finally gave up and stuck it in a bag to "age". When I was unpacking my fabric in my new little quilt house (more to come on that) I found it. Happy days, because by this point Tori had a baby girl, and wa la, in one evening the quilt top was finished. I had so much fun machine quilting it. I did a big sun design over the pieced blocks. I quilted around each of the pictures and then added in some double loops, trying to make them look like rope. Overall, I love how Khloe's Rodeo quilt turned out.
So did Tori and Khloe. Grandma thought it is very special too. Thanks.
