Horsefeathers Quilt

This is one of my first attempts at quilting. My mother and my friend, Noreen, introduced me to quilting a few years ago. At the time I felt that my sewing skills were up to the challenge of paper piecing. Fortunately, it turned out rather well. This pattern is by Linda Hibbert of silverliningsoriginals.com. The original pattern used quite different fabrics that gave the wall hanging an abstract look, so I substituted the creams and browns to make the horses look more real. These beautiful horses were absolutely perfect for my friend who has a passion for, and raises, horses.
