Her crossstitching is beautiful. I only wish I had that kind of patience. I would do the cross hatch or chicken wire;
|
Whatever you decide on, I'd do one row of stitching either uptight around the bird or about 1/8" away to make him stand out.
|
This is such a beauty of a quilt. Lovely cross stitching.
|
Love the chicken wire idea!! Perfect!!
|
My suggestion is take the block to your local Kinko's/Office Max, etc., and have several (10 or so) photocopies made of the block. Then, use a pencil and draw your echo quilting lines, crosshatching, etc., on the photocopies. You can try out several ideas without ruining the actual block.

Ditto....chicken wire
|
You could put extra batting under the chicken and stipple tight around the chicken and that will help it to stand out. good luck.

I agree with the chicken wire design, that rooster is a handsome dude!! great work!
|
I love the idea of printing papaer copies to practice on....I also like the idea of chickenwire as long as I don't have to do it. Whatever you choose to do can not take away the loveliness of this beautiful quilt!!
