I dropped two western baby quilts off for the long-armer two weeks ago. Boot Scootin' Boogie was a pattern from a 2005 issure of Fons & Porter Love of Quilting. Quilters Emporium got permission from the original designer to teach it as a class. I had fun raiding my stash for all the different fabrics. I added an extra border to the original pattern to make the boot blocks stand out more, This is one of my favorite boots on the left. I also had to have an Aggie boot as both mom and dad are Texas A&M graduates.
I had so many piano key strips left from the outer border of the first quilt that I decided to make a second quilt for a boy about to be born. It was a pain to remove all the pink cowgirl fabrics and Aggie squares, but well worth it in the end. This quilt is going to a baby from a family who are avid University of Texas Longhorn fans.
