Anya's Horse Quilt

Yay! I have finished Anya's bed quilt (after about two years of work), and have now made all three girls quilts, based on patterns and fabrics they picked out. Anya's has horses, of course...

We found a fabric that had the horse panels, and then Anya and I chose coordinating fabrics for the "Turning twenty around the block" pattern. I made up my own border for it.





Here is the back...I had to throw in some ballerinas, too!


It was machine pieced and hand quilted. On the panels I quilted the outlines of the horses, horizons, and flower baskets. Over the rest of the quilt is straight-line quilting following certain block seams and diagonals.
