I'm not exactly sure why this print was in my possession (suffice it to say it's been in there a long time), but it was a perfect backing for this quick project, and worked really well with the cowboy hat print on the front. I also had an old Alexander Henry burgundy print to piece with it, and used a little in the binding.
My Western phase, thankfully, was brief, and this fabric is where it belongs, in a baby quilt in Houston.
The quilting turned out pretty neat: five lines a quarter-inch apart, running in a zig-zag. It didn't show up very well in any of the photos I took (except the in-progress detail here), so here's an overlay. It made it a little more interesting than just doing a grid.
Sydney, the neighbor's pup, had to supervise the nursery photo shoot. I warned her she might show up on the internet, and she didn't seem to have a problem with it.

Love the quilting. It's an idea I want to try. Beautiful quilt.
Oh, that quilt and Sydney are both so adorable!
Sydney seems to favor the camera or vice versa. What a cute quilt and I like the way you quilted it. Where you can't figure out why you had the western fabric... I have plenty of it. ;o)
