Gallop & Gather PDF

Inspired by the woven stories found in traditional western saddle pads, Gallop & Gather is a quilt pattern that honors the beauty of handmade traditions and the textiles that have traveled alongside generations of horsemen and women.

One of my favorite things about this design is how it comes together. Gallop & Gather is a strip-piecing dream, allowing quilters to build much of the quilt efficiently while still enjoying the satisfaction of watching the pattern emerge block by block. It is the kind of project that feels rewarding from the first seam to the final stitch.

Whether you choose fabrics that evoke wide open spaces, country roads, or memories of time spent in the saddle, this quilt offers plenty of opportunity to make the design your own. 

Gallop & Gather is suitable for confident beginners and experienced quilters looking for an enjoyable make with strong visual impact and straightforward construction.
