Native Fabrics
Dancing Bear "War Pony Quilt" Pattern
This project uses our native american fabrics
that we sell on our website!
We carry an extensive collection of Native design, Native Themed fabrics. All of our fabrics, we have a limited quantity. Many of the prints we have are out of print. What does this mean? Well when we are sold out, we most likely cannot get more. We also carry specific brands of fabric designers, including Alexander Henry, Michael Miller, Robert Kaufman, Andover, just to mention a few. What is Quilter's quality? This term means that the thread count of the individual fabric is higher than standard cotton prints. So generally, these have a solid feel and they are smooth to the touch.

Dancing Bear "War Pony Quilt" Pattern Easy to paint, and sew!
|
Supplies needed:
1 fat quarter(fat quarter)of Red Tipis
1 fat quarter of Black Tipis
1 fat quarter of Beige Running Horses
1 fat quarter of Black Running Horses
Batting
Red Thread
Turquoise Thread
Red Acrylic Paint
Blue Acrylic Paint
Yellow Acrylic Paint
Small thin paint brush
Sewing Machine
Rotary Cutter or Scissors
Cutting board
Pins
Safety Pins
Directions:
Press both Horse fabrics so that they are not creased.
Use a paper plate as a palette, and small thin brush.
Water down the acrylic so that it is a bit thinner than the original consistency (not dripping, think of it as an ink).
You want to have it just right so that you can use the paint to soak in a bit. Practice on scrap material before using the Horse fabric.
-Cut the Red and Black Tipis in 4 long pieces 4.5” x 22”
with a Rotary Cutter or Scissors
-Pair the Red Tipis with the Black Horses and Black Tipis with the Beige Horses.
-Make sure to pay attention to the orientation of the designs.
-Pin one strip to the top and bottom of each piece of the horses fat quarters. Right sides together.
-Sew ¼” seam along the top and bottom of each horse fabric piece.
-Press the seams towards the center.
-Pin strips to both sides of the horse fabric pieces.
-Pair the Red Tipis with the Black Horses and Black Tipis with the Beige Horses.
-There will be an extra amount on these lengths, make sure to allow for the selvage to be trimmed.
-Make sure to pay attention to the orientation of the designs.
-Sew ¼” seam along the sides of each horse fabric piece.
-Press the seams towards the center.
-You have your two pieces.
-Pin the seams down, and use a decorative stitch to go along the edge of the Tipi -border of each piece, using a contrasting color for the thread. We used a decorative triangle stitch with turquoise colored embroidery thread.
-Cut a piece of batting for each completed mini horse quilt.
-Center horse fabric piece, with tipis on batting and use safety pins to attach in several places starting from the center and working out. About every 3”-4” place a pin.
Decorative quilting:
Outline horses with red thread.
Circles in the background with red thread.
If your machine has a free-motion feature, it works great for this design.
Drop feed dog in sewing machine and stitch moving the fabric around with your hands outlining the horses, or making circles in the background.
Variation:
You can make 2 of each color and make a throw size blanket with these panels. They can be sewn together to make a pillow case, placemat, table runner.
It’s really endless what you can do with them! Have fun!
