    Default Grandma's Chicken Quilt-"Rooster in the Hen House"

    My mom and I made this quilt for my Grandma (my moms mother) for her 90th birthday a couple of years ago. She likes chickens and has lots of them in her house. Our quilt has one rooster amongst the chickens hence the name. The chickens are machine appliqued, we made some of the blocks for the different holidays, such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, Halloween, 4th of July, St Patricks day, etc. The rest are just random and colorful. We also appliqued eggs on some of the blocks with the hens. The hens are on blocks of chicken wire fabric and straw fabric, framed with a wood fabric to mimic a chicken coop. The back is egg fabric. We hand quilted around all the seams and around the chickens then mom used her machine and did a small tacking stitch around on the chicken to finish up the quilting. We had a great time making it and Grandma loved it!

    Very cute quilt! Your chickens remind of the chicken salt and pepper shakers my mom had when we were little.
