can I just say I LOVE CHICKENS! now with that out of the way that has got to be the cutest quilt I have ever layed eyes on. :D I have never ever even tried applique but if that is how those chickens got so darn adorable I will have to figure it out. The colors are great and it is all just so......whimsical looking. Did I say I love it!? :thumbup: Great Job
