Your quilt is lovely and yes, I have made tablecloths with chicken stitch designs. My grandmother made me one when I was newly married in the 60's. She offered to show me how and I declined saying I would never have the patience. I used her tablecloth until it was well worn (I still have it) and I have made several since, the first one I did I copied her design. I often think she would have been proud of me having the patience to do them. I still have a Quilt book of patterns….The How to chicken Scratch by Rita Weiss.
