I grew up watching western type shows on TV, including ones with John Wayne, so it was a sweet
treat to sew Riley Blake Designs fabric with my favorite TV cowboy in the panels. John Wayne
was born Marion Robert Morrison, but a fireman in Glendale, California, "started calling him
"Little Duke" because he never went anywhere without his huge Airedale Terrier, Duke. He
preferred "Duke" to "Marion", and the nickname stuck." We all knew who "The Duke" was!
Finished quilt measures: 60” x 72”
I love those small panel sections from John Wayne's movies!
The beautiful quilting was done by Quilted Works.
The background is an abandoned shack in Washington, Utah.
The colors in the RBD fabrics are so bright and vibrant in any setting!
So many amazing prints!
You can get the free pattern HERE.
Fabric can be found in these and other stores soon:
Over The Rainbow Fabrics, Missouri Quilt Star, Pine Needles in UT, Common Thread,
Arizona Quilts, Fabric Shack.

ReplyDeleteJohn Wayne is my Hero! We just returned from Monument Valley and Gouldings Lodge where many movies were filmed. Wonderful fabrics and the resulting quilt you have created!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I still enjoy settling on the couch on a rainy day and watching old JW movies.
ReplyDeleteDate of release?
ReplyDeleteYou have done an amazing job with those fabrics. That is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh, I bought the panel and the movie fabric and wanted to do like you did, but I couldn't figure out how to do it....went on Pinterest today and BAM !! thankyou so much for putting the pattern out there !!!
ReplyDeleteI received all the fabrics to make this quilt for my brother.
ReplyDeleteMy question is....what color thread was used to quilt this?
My brother is a big John Wayne fan and so was my Dad. I made my brother a quilt from your fabrics. Instead of making pillows, I used the prints for the backing, adding leftover fabric from the front. This made it reversible.
