There’s something about the holidays that brings me right back to the quiet, wintry mornings in the cabin—coffee steaming, kids still asleep, and fabric scraps spread across the table. These little cowboy boot ornaments started as a way to use up leftover quilted pieces, but the moment I held the first one, I knew they carried that same cozy, nostalgic magic I try to stitch into every project. They feel a bit rustic, a bit handmade, and full of the kind of charm that only comes from a small, thoughtful make.
This pattern guides you through turning a simple quilted square into a sweet 5½" ornament—modern, nostalgic, gift-worthy, and perfect for dressing up a tree, tying onto gifts, or hanging from a peg rail.
