The Cattle Drive Quilt Kit turns a set of western picture panels into a 66" x 72" quilt sized for the couch, a reading chair, or the foot of a bed. In the sample quilt, scenes of cowboys on horseback and horses at work are framed in rust sashing, set among sage-green print blocks, and finished with a brown and cream cowhide-style border.
The kit includes pre-cut fabric panels and pattern instructions written with advanced beginners in mind. Because the design is built around large picture blocks, most of the visual interest comes from the printed panels rather than from small pieces, so there is no paper piecing or intricate cutting involved. It is a comfortable next step for quilters who have finished a few simple square quilts and want to try framing panels and working with sashing.
The finished quilt suits a ranch-style living room, a cabin, a teen's bedroom, or anyone who loves horses and the working West. It also makes a meaningful handmade gift for a rodeo fan, a rancher, or a family member who grew up around cattle.
