The border is going to be done in hooked feathers that look sort like rooster feathers...from Sally Terry's book, "Hooked on Feathers."
I would appreciate any ideas.

Echoing would be great, but what about making cross sections like chicken wire surrounding the rooster as though he were fenced and standing in front of the wire? Just a thought. You could use light grey thread to do this or maybe silver thread to make it look more realistic. Just don't quilt over the rooster. DD did beautiful work on the rooster, and I'll just bet the others are just as great.
