Cowgirl Quilt

I thought I had a while longer to make this, but got a baby shower invite in the mail the end of last week, the shower is this weekend! My friend from childhood, Nicole, is having a little girl. I found the little cowgirl fabric and just had to have it! Even though it was $10.00 a yard! Some of the little girls look like her nieces even, so like i said i had to have it!

Lucky for me I crochet the boots a few months ago..
Anyways I thought I'd give the instructions for how I used the fabric.
I got 1 yard of the cowgirl print; cut it into a square (~36in)
My mom had the pink and brown stripe, only about half a yard. I cut 4 (so it's 45 long) 1 1/2 in strips, ironed it in half and basted it around the cowgirl square.
i found the pink rope fabric at walmart  I cut 4 (so it will be 45 in long) 4 1/2 inch strips and sewed and pressed them onto the cowgirl print. (there's extra fabric that you cut off, sew it on the 2 sides then the top and bottom).
I used the same rope print for the back, i just taped it to a table and safety pinned it, instead of using a quilt frame, and used a square hoop( its like 14inches) to tie it.
The stripe is used as the binding, i'm not good at explaining how to do it so you are on your own there. I love how it turned out!
