Melissa-I am checking in on you today too. Was hoping for some pics with borders. Sorry you have not had much time to sew lately. I can relate!!

I hope you post again when your borders are on~ I love your chickens, I've been collection for a long time and even took a work shop September 2003 from Carroll Griffiths, she use to live in Modesto, CA. but moved ... That was such a great class too. At the top of her quilt she has the sun looking down on her childens. If your interested in seeing the photo let me know... it's fun~

Congratulations - I think your border looks great. With all the suggestions you received, it could have been hard to make the decision!

It really was hard!! I loved the appliqued chicken track idea. I even went as far as trying to find a pattern. But I think I was just ready to be done with this one!!
