Is there a simple way to quilt this or should I pay the quilter?

I think you can do it yourself, too. I don't think you need to get too fancy anyway, the design is so endearing the way it is. I like the idea of horseshoes even if these guys don't wear them.
Keep us posted!

Wood grain is easy and is looks great even if you make a mistake!!! Very forgiving.

Oh--you helped a LOT!! Thanks!!
So--you want me to send it to you so you can have all this fun doing it? :wink:

First, I have to say that is adorable!! I know how I would quilt it, but if you aren't sure you want to attempt it, definitely have the gift one quilted. I can't wait to see how she does it!!
