I am working on the rusted quilt entry again...

Cow Pony Quilt
The weaving is done and I am auditioning background rust fabrics
Background 1
Background 2
Background 3
None of these really gets me excited...
How about using ALL of the background rust fabrics!
I folded them up into borders and pinned them to the design wall.
Now this excites me...
The "Square-ness" of this looks rather boring.
Time to Un-Square it a bit...
I free-hand cut with the rotary cutter and gave the edges a smooth scallop curve.
This adds quite a bit of interest to the center photo transfer image and also the boxy, square appearance is gone...
Horse Shoes on top???
Horse Shoes on the bottom???
I agonized over this for a full day...
I finally took a break and got away from it for awhile.
When I walked back in the Thread Shed, I knew just what to do.
I will post more photos tomorrow...

Hi LuAnn,
I feel the urge to tell you my opinion on this quilt ;-))
First, I think, it will be lovely, I truly like your rusted fabrics and the weaving is gorgeous (especially after you cut this curved edge).
Second, I like the horseshoes at the bottom better. Maybe its just because I think they "belong" there? I mean - in real life, a horse would have its horseshoes on the ground. Oh my, does this make any sense ???
Thanks for listening - and keep us posted, please!
Take care,
Frauke
Hi!
What a beautiful quilt!
I really like the look of the horseshoes going up the left side. Like the ponies are walking away after getting a drink. Just my humble opinion......
