My husband likes having his Christmas horse blanket on the wall. Since Christmas is over and our decoration will be getting put away on Monday, his blanket will be getting put away. So I decided to make him something to make up for that happening. Although he has been complaining that it is not as big as the blanket. Guess I will have to make him another blanket later but for now he will have something to fill the space on the wall.
I found all the horse print fabrics that his Grandma has given me and started looking at patterns to see what I might have enough fabric for. I found a pattern called Table Grace designed by Julie Weaver in one of my quilt books. I machine pieced and quilted it, add three tabs to the back so it can hang on the wall.
I think it turned out fairly well since I have not quilted in a long time, like years. The only problem I have with it is that the binding could have been attached better. I am the only one around here that would know or notice it, so I decided I am not going to worry about it this time. One thing I do like is that with the way I quilted it because of the front, the back quilting reminds me of the fence railing that you would see for the corals and barn pens.
