Finished the Cowboy Boot Wall Hanging
I have been working on a cowboy boot wallhanging as a surprise for my husband, who collects vintage cowboy boots. While I am posting this, it is in the wash getting some shrinkage to add texture. I've previously posted some pictures but here are a few more showing the process, start to finish:
The first picture is my boot model (previously posted):
Here is the EQ5 graphic (previously posted) - I traced a foundation pattern for the boot proper:
After getting a rough pattern, I paper pieced the boot portion (previously posted):
Added a background - this was a bear and I had no idea what I was doing:
The initial borders:
My favorite border book is "Border Workbook." I added a seminole square border and used my slotted ruler to get uniform pieces:
I sandwiched it, birthed it (no binding) and handstitched it closed. Here is the wall hanging, quilted (pre washed):
It measures 20 inches square.
