A Texas Longhorn Quilt


I have put together this beautiful Texas Longhorn Quilt for a friend of my son. He and his brother grew up with my boy's. He contacted me and asked me to make a quilt for a special person in his life. She had made an Auburn University quilt for him and he decided that he wanted her to have a special quilt of her own.

I put together a scrappy quilt that uses a variety of Texas fabrics. I blended the fabrics with black fabrics and then bordered the quilt with cowboy boots. I hope it wasn't to corny that I included Cowboy boots. The fabric blended so well with the colors in the quilt. 








It is probably difficult to tell but the quilting on the top is footballs and goal posts. For a football quilt I thought it was perfect.











The boot fabric was also used on the back of the quilt. 


I put the quilt in the mail first thing this morning, I can't wait to see how well the quilt goes over. What would your favorite quilt be? 

What is your football team... the next football quilt will be a Wisconsin Badger quilt. Blocks are completed and now they need to be assembled.
