Cowgirl



Yeehaw!  Our Cowgirl quilt pattern is done! This quilt pattern is fat quarter friendly and is easy to use.  You can purchase the pattern here.  The cover quilt is also for sale and can be found on Etsy. 


Designing a flower quilt pattern has always been on our bucket list, but we wanted the perfect pattern: something cute and original. We thought of the name “Cowgirl” before the pattern was created and we waited for the perfect matching quilt. The inspiration for the quilt pattern came out of the blue and we knew that this was the perfect pattern to match the name.  

 The Cowgirl blocks are fairly large, measuring 16” when finished. With only 12 blocks to make, the quilt top comes together in no time at all! The finished quilt measures 48” X 64” similar in size to our other patterns.

 We wanted to channel a girly color scheme into this quilt, without making it look too elementary.  The fabrics are Pam Kitty Love by Pam Kitty Morning for Lakehouse Dry Goods, which we found in our local quilt shop.  The blue-purple color is an easy favorite of ours. 



 
 When we sewed the first block on this quilt, we were really scared that the pattern didn’t look right. We had already cut out all of our fabric, so we decided to keep sewing. Just letting you know…we are not always confidant in our decisions, but once a quilt comes together we learn to fall in love with it. Sometimes the quilts you are least unsure about are the ones that turn out the cutest. It’s probably because they are outside of our comfort zone. 
 
 It’s so fun that little stars are created in the white space between the blocks. It’s a pattern inside of a pattern :)

 
We stippled this one because we didn’t want the machine quilting to take away from the already-busy pattern.  Now it is crinkly after 2 washes. Don’t ask ;)


 This quilt has been done for ages…we were just procrastinating working on the pattern. All we really needed was some ice-cream and time. Especially that part about ice-cream :)

 

 O.K. Now the fun part! Become a member of our blog and leave us a comment letting us know that you did. You never know, you might just win a Cowgirl pattern (in PDF form) to play with. The Giveaway will end Wednesday at midnight. Two random winners will be announced on Thursday. Go!
