THUD!!!
So cute! I recognise a few of those chickens - Love the lanky chook in the middle. I've a chookie quilt I made using the fatcat patterns last easter (my first quilt), and I'm waiting for my blocks to come back from a small chicken patch exchange (i'm the only aussie in the swap)
This is delightful.
In my inexperienced opinion, yes, you do need a dark border to enclose your chickens and then I like the idea of a wider border of chicken wire (to keep them safe from foxes) and a darker binding. I'm not sure about the burgundy, but until I saw the colours in the flesh could not make that colour choice. That is so ... wonderful, brings a smile to your face.
Along with the rest of us, I'd love to see the finished product!
