Love them! I remember that fabric.....didn't you get it at Walmart? I wish I could find some! Those chickens are so cute and I love the chicken wire quilting! And thanks from me, too, for closeups of the quilting! I save all the pics I can that show quilting patterns well to have for practicing as I go along. Seems like so many pics can't be enlarged.

Who wouldn't smile sitting at the table with these? Think you did a fine job + the chicken wire makes it!
The imagination and creativity the members of this board have never ceases to amaze me.

I remember your attic windows quilt, because I printed it out for inspiration. When I finally found some of the fabric at WalMart it was not what I expected because you had improved it so much with the sashing choices you made. Love the chicken wire quilting - it is just right, and should be slightly wonky because that's how real-life chicken wire is. Good job!
