So as anyone that has or is around children knows you cant do one without the other, so I've been thinking about my other niece Mollie and what kind of quilt she might like.
I aways get so nervous when picking quilt design's for other people, just because I like it doesn't mean the intended receiver will.
I'm trying to channel my inner 11 year old and have come up with a few..
She is obviously not going through a colour sucks faze.. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with the top left corner and possibly something horse related on the other side because she is obsessed.
I went to the oracle that is Google and found some inspo

Whimsical Horse |
This one is stunning, its Foundation Paper Piecing which I don't love but I love my niece. I'm not sure if its a bit to grown up for her though. There's lots of different horses on this website so they are a possibility... if I decide to go for FPP... which (I don't know if I've mentioned) I hate.
Most of the horse quilts that I've seen have been FPP, I might have to brave the technique.
The one on the left also came up which I kinda like but not quite so I did a super quick thing in Microsoft Word (still the only thing I know how to use) and came up with the idea on the right, I didn't like that all the horses heads where the same on the original so I found some other options online and stuck them in. I also didn't want it all to be horse heads so put some sawtooth blocks in there. This one is applique which I think I hate more than FPP. If I choose this one I'm going to have to do a tester block to see how much I hate doing it.
Who knows, I'll get one side done and then think about it some more
