ffq-lar Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Cute! If this is for you, quilt a "D" for Davenport in a circle on the top section of each boot. If it is a gift, quilt a five-pointed star in a circle. Then stitch a fill all around the circle. The rest would be quilter's choice--whatever fill you like--even a ribbon meander to mimic a lasso (like the lines in the brown fabric) with a knotted loop here and there. Line dance (appropriate, huh?) those stars and the end triangles. It is great now and will be wonderful quilted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Oops! Your photo is so big and I forgot to edit my message so it would fit and be readable. I can't reach the edit button. The part you can't read is to stitch your favorite fill around the circles and then line dance the stars and the end triangles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisae Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Very cute, Bonnie! My daughter's boyfriend would love this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeri Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I'm going to have to get that pattern!! My grandaughter would love it!! She's in the Daddy can I have a horse phase. Her room is horses and I'm doing a horse quilt for her birthday. They actually have plenty of space for a horse -- 15 acres, and she is learning to ride as one of her best friends has horses. So the boots would also be perfect!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSewSimple Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Cute, Bonnie! It almost looks like boots and spirs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Hi Bonnie, That table runner is adorable! At one time I made a quilt with boots. I did a looping- almost lasso type meander all over it. The boots are the focus of the project, so a simple quilting design seem more appropriate I felt. Here is a link to a pic. of the quilting. http://picasaweb.google.com/angiesquilting/AngieSQuilts#5210415276652449986 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Your table runner is really cute! Love the boots. I like the suggestions you have already received Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheri-Artzgirl Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 What about a free motion barbwire? Not straight across wire but more of a meander with barbwire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristiequilts Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 I'm still in the "Daddy, Can I have a horse phase?" I got close once and my granddaughter had a horse for a couple of years. ...sigh... Those boots are way too cute. I need to make one of those too. I think I have a pattern in one of my magazines but, of course, I haven't any idea which one of the 1000 or so I can't seem to throw away or give away. The only thing I can think of is rope but it isn't all that easy freemotion. I like everyone else's ideas better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oma Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 I have to make one of these too. I really like the boot pattern. I've always thought I'd make a quilt using this pattern. Very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dar Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Very cute table runner. I would love to make one too, but have to stick to UFO's for a while longer. I love your suggestions you have received. The quilting will really add to the fun of the runner. Can't wait to see what you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
