Design Source - Description | I fell in love with a horse fabric from Laurel Burch and choose fabrics. When I started working on it, I realized that these were all the colors that my exchange student wore, so I decided to make it for him. I chose blocks that I always choose: Marion's Choice (my name), Jacob's Ladder (my husbands name) and some favorite blocks like Ohio Star and Card Trick. After laying the whole thing out on my design hide-a-bed, I needed two more blocks. They turned out to be Dutchman's Puzzle (where Stephan is from) and Chinese Coin (his ethnicity). We had spent the year telling him about things that happened before he was born, so the title, Ghost Riders in the Sky, was perfect, because the song is copyrighted in 1948, before my husband and I were born! |
