    Okay everyone,
    I am sure if you look closely you can find all my boo-boos. Some of the squares arent perfect, some of the rows are a bit crooked, and of course it could use more quilting.
    But let me tell you I am dang proud.......this is called Saddle Tramps and since we raise Appaloosas, and consider ourselves saddle tramps, it seemed perfect.
    It was the first time I used a rotary cutter, first time I tried a quilt out of a pattern, and the first time I made something for "us".
    My sweetheart loves it and he is sooooo supportive....
