Whoa, Horsey!
The legs have me perplexed!
First, I sewed the background on wrong. It just didn't work!
Now I'm thinking there's a step missing..
"17. To make the front legs, measure and cut 4" x 5-1/4" from the horse fabric and a 3 inch square from background fabric. Place the 3-inch square right sides together with the upper left hand corner of the horse fabric. Draw a diagonal line from the lower left hand corner to the upper right hand corner, and sew along the line."
Okay that's how I got stuck, but got the angle fixed now.. But wait, isn't there another 3" square for the lower right corner?
In the super grainy image, it looks like it's there, and a piece of horse fabric was joined!?
Okay, we'll go past that for the moment.
"18. Measure and cut 2-3/4" x 4" of background fabric and 1-3/4" x 4" of horse fabric. Join these two pieces together to make the second leg unit.
"
Got it, and made first hoof.. I think..
(I haven't sewn these together, they're just sitting there to show what I think is right).
Or is it supposed to be this:
"19. To create the hooves, measure and cut 1-3/4" x 2-3/4" of horse fabric and two, 1-1/4" x 2-3/4" rectangles of hoof fabric. Connect a 2-inch background fabric square to the hoof unit."
So, if the hoof is right, why is it being connected to a 2" square? The matching edge sizes for the horse fabric and hoof fabric are 2 3/4", so I'm assuming here the 2" is a corner. That's how I used it. But step 20:
"20. To make the crook along the horse's foot, sew a 1 inch square of horse fabric to 1" x 2" background fabric piece along the diagonal. Make two of these pieces, and join these units to the back of the hooves."
This gives us a "crook" piece which is only 2" long.. Maybe there are more hooves later?
I searched to see if anyone else has made this quilt. But for one post about it being a donation for a cause, there's no info out there. Come on, quilters, blog yer heart out!
Okay, where was I?
"21. Measure and cut 2" x 3" of background fabric and 1-3/4" x 3" of horse fabric to create the unit. Connect this component with the first hoof section. Then, join the unit beneath the upper leg unit."
Le sigh. Gonna take a break for a game of Go Fish with MissC.
