This pattern is 11″ wide with no repeats. It has 4 panels of 4′ each (this pattern is 16′ long, much longer than our regular 12′ whole cloth patterns), and includes the following designs:
“Blazing trails across the years, Blessed honored Pioneers.” I’ve long wanted to create a pattern honoring the brave men and women who forged across our continent. Westward HO is the fruition of that dream. It contains; friendly Native Americans (peace-pipe, rain dance, teepees etc.) a pony Express Rider, a Trapper with his travois, Covered Wagons, music and dance around the campfire, famous landmarks, Bison and Pronghorns, even my blind great-grandfather holding to the back of the wagon–all bound together within the spokes of a Wagon Wheel.
Westward Ho can be used for edge to edge quilting (the wheel is not strongly prominent), or as a 44”x 44” quilt center emphasizing the wagon wheel background.
To complete my quilt I created a border of plains animals “Great Plains on The Move.” See the layout plan I used.
After finishing the Westward Ho quilt I bravely painted details with Paintstiks.
