No, not horses like Alicia , but fabric horses on a quilt. The Horses Quilt was delivered to its girl Wednesday and her mom reported she was cuddled in it although we have a heat advisory. The quilt was the pattern, Crown and Anchor, by Doug Leko and the fabric line was by Ann Lauer, Horsin' Around. I blogged about the start here. It was not an easy or simple quilt to make. It was fun to quilt. I used Glide thread for the top and Superior Omni for the bobbin. I had major tension issues the last part of the last pass and had to rip it out twice, don't you just love when that happens?
I took the photos in a shaded part of the yard, and then a sunnier spot as the wind has been an issue for days.

WOW! That turned SO pretty! And it's great that you had extra to make the bag so special - ;))
Excellent results for all of your hard work!!!
The pattern is a perfect foil for the horse squares - what a triumph! And its always great when they are appreciated, eh?

beautiful.
That is just perfect!!! I love it!! and the bag and everything - I bet she was ecstatic!!!!!! I would snuggle too - and just turn the AC on!! haha!
That looks like a great pattern to show off the fabric in big chunks. You have to know she is happy if she is wrapped up in it in the heat of summer.
Oh hasn't this quilt worked out beautifully and how good to read that the little one was happily snuggling under it. Lucky little one to have the added bonus of the bag with goodies.
What an unusual pattern. But it worked out perfectly with those fabrics. What a wonderful finish fit for a young girl. And a tote bag with goodies to boot! How nice.
