There they are all playing nicely together. The size before borders is 57 x 72. Can you guess what the strip block on the bottom left is?

This next picture is the possible border. Do I want the burgundy next to the quilt then the chicken wire then the burgundy for the binding or do I want the chicken wire next to the quilt and then a thin burgundy border and binding.
I only picked the burgundy because it is the color of the wire in the chicken wire print. Maybe I don't want the burgundy?

If you have any other ideas for a border and binding I'd love to hear them!
:-D

I like your top. Beautiful! I think that border is a good idea.

I'd put the burgundy before the chicken wire.

Overall, that is one CUTEEEEEEE quilt! :) Love it!

I like the thin burgandy border first-it "frames" the inner part of the quilt. Either way, your quilt is so cute-you did a great job on it.

I love it . I agree, put the strip color first. Let me know when you are done....and I will send my address. :wink:

Oh Geez. I totally wanted to be in this swap. Wish I had have! It's turning out beautiful! I agree about the burgandy next to the center, then the wire. :) Show piccies when it's done! :)

That's a chicky quilt :) he he...
I think the burgandy border and then the chicken wire looks best.

Love your quilt. Made me giggle to see all the chicks playing together so nicely. Beautiful job on the blocks all.

Maybe a thin strip of black to start the border, then chicken wire then burgandy? I really like your chickens, a very happy quilt!! :-D
