Rail Fence from Urban Quilter

This is another of the quilts I made from the big bin of cowboy fabrics. I had a lot of yardage left of these three fabrics so I put together a simple rail-fence baby-sized quilt. That seemed appropriate for cowboy fabrics.

Western 9-Patch from Urban Quilter

This is the last of my A Quilted Gift finishes for this week.

This is a simple sashed 9-patch with a cowboy border. There was enough of these fabrics in the donation bins to make 3 of this quilt, with more left over. I put one together and made up kits for two more. The kits will make up quilts identical to this one, but with different backing fabrics. I don't think I'm going to quilt this one, I'm going to hand it in and let another Guild member do the quilting. I included the strips for ...

Cowboy Panel Quilt from Urban Quilter

Cowboy Panel Quilt, 2025

Continuing the finishes of the quilts I have been working on creating for my guild's charity quilt project -- A Quilted Gift.

The bin of Western fabric included 4 of the same panel featuring cowboy images. There were 11 different pictures in a variety of sizes.

I worked out the math, added an extra side unit to make the quilt more balanced and came up with this design. I plan to quilt this top before turning it in for distribution. I also made up kits with the remaining 3 panels including the needed fabrics (the background ...

Scrappy Eagle Quilt from Urban Quilter

Eagle Scrap Quilt, 2025

I have a bunch of finishes to share this week. I have been working on creating quilts from a big bin of Western-themed fabric for my guild's charity quilt project -- A Quilted Gift.

The fabric with the eagles that I used for center panels in this Scrappy quilt was one big piece with a very large repeat so I had to cut the feature squares 9.5" which made a big quilt. I usually put 3 rounds of scraps around each image when I make this design, but this time I stopped at 2 rounds ...

Friday Finish from Urban Quilter

Seaside Patchwork

This quilt is another variation on the design I used for the horse-panel top. It is closer to the pattern in the book. It includes 220 squares cut at 2"--all of which came from my box of scrap squares.

I quilted this with a wave pattern in the patchwork and then a loop-the-loop in variegated blue in the seaside print sections. I had a little bit of striped binding left from a previous project and I used it a long the top because it was the perfect colors for this quilt.

Overall I like this design, but ...

Scrappy Saturday from Urban Quilter

Horse panel quilt top

I have been working on creating quilts for my guild's charity quilt project -- A Quilted Gift. Among the donated fabrics for the project was a large bin FULL of Western/horse/cowboy prints which I have been creating quilts (and kits) from. My latest finished top is super scrappy with lots of 3.5" squares. This design is a variation on a pattern from Cut the Scraps.

The next top I am putting together will use lots of scrap strips to frame some western-themed panels. I will be using the same design I used for ...
