A Quilt for a Very Small Cowboy

What? Two posts in one week??? I haven't managed that in awhile. But before time gets away from me again, I wanted to get in an update on the scrappy cowboy quilt I was making for my niece, Annie (of Decorator in a Box). She had chosen the fabrics and the scrappy layout, and the top was almost finished when I last posted...

And just in time for a 4th of July visit from Annie and family, the quilt was finished! She'll be giving it to her friend back in Texas, as a special gift for her baby boy.

I ran a little short on the cowboy print for the back, but had just enough of the buffalo plaid flannel left over to piece in the extra length:

It's quilted with a gold thread similar to blue jean stitching, all diagonal crosshatching, except for two "blocks" that seemed perfect for quilted cowboy boots.

Can you see the boot? I had a hard time getting a picture to show it off. Here's a closeup that shows the borders:

And some of the crosshatching:

Once again, I had so much fun working with fabrics I didn't choose myself, but absolutely loved putting together! So perfect for a sweet little cowboy. ;o)
