Fussy cut chickens and comments
#32
For future reference, before you add the window frames put some blocks up on your working wall with your inserts in the bottom of the window rather than at the top, it might ground the image more.
Darling quilt, well done!

Thanks! And if you mean the fabric, I got it at Wal-Mart. $5.97 a yard, I think. I didn't have a pattern for the quilt, just looked up some online instructions for Attic Windows and used that to know how to do the windows, Y seam, etc. The instructions I found didn't have the sashing or ledges, so I added that the way I usually do sashing. The fussy cut chickens are 4-1/2", the pieces for the window frame (black with white dots and the white with black circles (which I thought looked a little like fencing!) are 2-1/2 by 6-7/8 before the 45 degree cut. Each little chicken block finishes out at 6-1/4". The finished top, with border, is 44-1/2" square.

THANKS! I admit I approached the Y seams with quaking. I considered doing the HST but frankly, THEY are not usually my friends, so I thought I might as well try the Y. I was shocked at how easy they were.

Thanks to everyone for the compliments and comments! I'm grateful to all of you for your suggestions and reassurances, and especially to the person who is also struggling with her attic window sashings. While I'm sorry to hear you are having the same problems, it helps to know I'm not alone!
