I have a dear friend who collects chickens, too and does not quilt, or even sew. She has been admiring my chicken quilt since the first time she ever saw it--still in pieces on my design wall. So, this year for her birthday I decided to make her a chicken lap quilt.

Not a very good pic-no one around to hold the quilt for me while I snap a shot....

Love it - can I be your friend too?

Don't look too close--I quilted this one myself and my free motion quilting leaves a LOT to be desired.

It turned out so cute too!!!! I really like that outside border!!!! Great job Marcia!!

What an awesome friend you are, Marcia! Gorgeous work and I'm loving the little chickens with the yellow background :!: :!: Super cute. makes me want to start a chicken collection.

I fussy cut some of my fabric and used 3 X 6" strips for a pieced border.

It is adorable. Love it.

Sure--A girl can never have too many friends!! Does this mean you want me to make you a chicken quilt too???

Thanks Melissa-I am pleased with the outcome.

Oh is she going to be surprised can you show us a pic when she gets it?
