    These are pictures of quilts I made for a grandchildren/office room. I want to make a larger quilt with the boot pattern for a wedding gift, but living in the East, there are no local shops that carry much western fabric. I would llike to find a shop that not only has lots of western fabric but willing also cut fat quarters or 1/4 yard lengths suitable for the boots. The fabric does not need to be limited to specific colors like the one I made. We are all spoilled with our local quilt shop because they will cut fat quarters from any bolt in the store. Charm squares are too small but could possibly use 10" squares.

    We have a cowboy/western collection of fabrics; maybe you will find something here that would work?

    This one with a tooled leather design might be appropriate:
