Riley Blake Designs Back In The Saddle Blog Tour

The moment I saw the panels from the "Back in the Saddle" fabric line, I was in love! 
They were gorgeous in colors and designs. I couldn't wait to put my favorite panel into a quilt
for the Riley Blake Designs Blog Tour. I was totally drawn to the horse running in water!
