Happy Birthday Gavin

Happy Trails (from Splendid Sampler 2)

I doubt that the designer of this block is old enough to remember Roy Rogers and Dale Evans but if you are of a certain age you’re already singing! I know for sure that Gavin won’t have a clue!

The block was meant to be done using one-inch squares for a pixelated look. I’ve done some pixelated projects and knew that where they call for more than one square you can use a strip. I’m happy with how this turned out, although even from the picture in the book it took me a bit of time to recognize the horse.

Although Gavin doesn’t have a horse (yet) I’m hoping the sky and mountains look a bit like a Calgary skyline.
