Quilt--Western Theme

 This is my 6th project--a quilt for my
great nephew for Christmas 2010.
It is a cowboy theme.
The quilt turned out much larger than I planned
 (it is my largest piece so far).
I started with a pattern but soon discarded
it and worked my own design.
I used the “pillowcase style” to pull it together.
Denise (Cozy Quilt Shoppe) showed me how
to tie a quilt so I tied this one
 instead of stitching in the ditch.
The pockets (my favorite part of the quilt) are from
Laura’s jeans and the kerchief I found in her clothes bin.

I love how it turned out. It is a large and warm quilt.  
I hope my nephew gets a lot of comfort from it
 (as soon as his mother is tired of cuddling with it).
