It was a little out of my box but lots of fun to make.

I picked it up either at a Sew Expo or a quilt show. The back says www.quarterinchpublishing.com. It's from 1/4 inch Designs & Publishing in Lake Elsinore. Published 1998 & reprinted in 2001. Everyone made something different. There were many chicken quilts and only one other I had recognized from a pattern. We our photographer shares the rest of the photos I'll try to put them on the board for you to see. I'm glad you all like it. Thanks. |

see my reply to Evelynquilts. It was not hard at all. I could have appliqued it but since it was a wall hanging I fused the pieces using the lightest weight double sided fuse. Then I machine buttonhole stitched around all the parts. I am not a hand sewer so this process was easiest for me. The most difficult was adding the tiny eyes which are sew on. I needed to sew through many layers of fused parts to push my needle through. The borders were left over pieces from a guild Opportunity Quilt I designed a few years ago. They were paper pieced on to a roll of tissue paper. Since they were left-over parts and the colors went well I figured why not use them.
