Our guild is having a "hen party" with 3 other guilds and so we were given a Chicken Challenge. I hope you like my quilt called 'Wild & Crazy Chicks!'. I didn't win one of the top prizes but I did win Best Use of Color and the good part is I SOLD IT for $300! Never even took it home to take more photos of a finished quilt. It was a little out of my box but lots of fun to make.

I love it. Did everyone have the same pattern and then were to do their own thing? Nice sale as well.

It's called "ALL COUPED UP" by Jane Tenorio-Coscarelli
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.

skavanau 03-10-2011 11:39 AM

where did you get the pattern and was it hard?

Doda 03-10-2011 12:11 PM

Cute!!

Joanie2 03-10-2011 12:35 PM

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.
