OK I'm sharing now. I made this for my youngest daughter and I just put the last border on today. This quilt top has been a monkey on my back for over a year. 
it has driven me nuts. I started with a pattern for a couch quilt we loved the different boots and the funky setting then added the horse panels and wanted it queen size. Seriously it should not have been that difficult bit for some reason my math was off (shocker) my cutting was shall we say unique at times and my 1/4 inch seam allowance was at times non existent. I have sewn ripped sewn and redone some of this quilt more than once. Probably equal to 2 queen quilts. But the top is done 
She recently moved and will be living in Norway for 2 years so she wants it extra warm it has a dark brown minkee back and I am having it double batted with wool and quilters dream puff (a hi-loft poly). That should keep her warm but I am not looking forward to putting the binding on. [ATTACH=CONFIG]555628[/ATTACH]
I'm calling it "Boot Scoot Boogie Double Time."

What a beauty! It's a feast for the eyes and I'm sure it'll warm your daughter--body AND soul! So you pieced all of the boots to create their designs, looks like. How cool. The colors are fabulous, and the piano keys border is perfect for this quilt. I can see how it could be a monkey on your back but well worth it! I'm really impressed. A labor of love !
