YES! This is the one I used...I did change the 'seat' a little. Enjoy! Actually the cows would show better in more contrasting fabrics, but I used my Uncles shirts that I was given...wanted them 100% his shirts.

You could machine "tie" this quilt if you use the stitch on your machine for sewing on buttons. I did just that on the quilts I made for my then very young grandsons and they are holding up quite well. Good luck and what a thoughtful idea!
