Marci.
I to think a lot about how I am going to quilt something.
Just a suggestion, do decorative zig-zag around the chickens, picking up the color of each chicken with the thread you use, then in the ditcv around the squares. Then random egg shapes on the border in black. Don't you dare not quilt this, it is too beautiful not to finish. I taught my self to machine quilt and I love it. I am still not a pro at it but I find it very theraputic, even more then making the actual quilt.
I am doing my first applique which I am quilting now. I am making a pillow sham to go with my youngest grandson's quilt. I am having so much fun quilting it. I designed a small bulldozer applique using one of the bulldozers on the construction vehicle print I used on the quilt. I will post it when I am done.
Bite the bullet girl, we all want to see this done!! Or you could send it to me and I will quilt it for you. :wink: :wink: :wink: Just kidding!!
