Willie Mae, You've made a beautiful heirloom. I love the chicken scratch look. Thank you so much for sharing.

I wrote earlier that I had made 21 pillows for my daughter, never thought about a quilt. How beautiful.

Thanks to everyone for your kind words, I guess no quilt is prefect.

It's a beautiful quilt! I would be very proud of it! Jack looks sweet, too!

lalaland 10-24-2010 01:43 PM

That's wonderful! It's been a long time since I've done, or even seen, chicken scratch, and never on a project this large. You did an amazing job!

sewTinker 10-24-2010 02:00 PM

I think it's adorable. Beautiful piecework. Everything about it looks perfect. I love the fabric you chose. I picture a summery morning with pancakes and fresh squeezed orange juice for breakfast.

OH my goodness! I had no idea what chicken scratch was. hahahaha.... just googled it and what I thought was Piecing, is actually stitches. oh... now I Really love it! That is absolutely unique. :thumbup:

Theresa 10-24-2010 02:05 PM

I love it! Very unique. You should be proud, but we are each our own worst critics, don't you think?

trueimage 10-24-2010 02:11 PM

I love it!

It looks great! Red is my fav color, so I'd be happy to take it off your hands ;-)

sheilajstewart 10-24-2010 02:51 PM

Willie Mae, that is a very pretty quilt and if you don't watch it that dog will show you how well it sleeps, I have two dashchunds and they live for "new quilts"I would be proud to own that quilt!

Halo 10-24-2010 03:21 PM

Your quilt is wonderful. Something to be proud of. Your baby is also cute. I even like the tile on your floor. It would make a wonderful quilt too. Snicker, snicker.

ann clare 10-24-2010 03:22 PM

Beautiful. A lot of hard work

craft phanatic 10-24-2010 03:38 PM

Well what the heck is wrong with it? I love it! I, too, have a baby named Jack and he sits just like that with his legs spread out. That is too funny, must be in the name! He looks like a little ham like mine too.

Willie Mae 10-24-2010 04:12 PM

Girls, you just don't see the flaws like I do...lol..Thank You..Jack thanks you too..

deebee 10-24-2010 05:13 PM

Your quilt is beautiful! That was a lot of work. My mother, a hand quilter, enjoys chicken scratch. She usually makes tablecloths. Can't wait to tell her about your quilt!

MaryAnna 10-24-2010 05:15 PM

Just fabulous! Why aren't you happy?! It looks great, and Jack is such a cutie, I can tell he's a flirt!
Blessings,
MaryAnna

cherylynne 10-24-2010 06:58 PM

Bubblegum0077 10-24-2010 07:27 PM

I think it looks great. Don't be hard on yourself - that's so easy to do. I do it too. You did very well especially for stars. What's your next project?

Katts 14 10-24-2010 07:42 PM

Willie Mae your chicken scratch is absolutely exquisite. The amount of work and effort that goes into this kind of work is amazing. You are a legend Willie Mae and that Jack of yours looks like a real character.

deltadawn 10-24-2010 11:40 PM

Maybe you're not alone in being hard on yourself about a project. I know that since I want my outcome to be perfect [u]and [u] since I know every its every mistake, I'm harder on my work than anyone else is. Now I just don't point out the mistakes and enjoy others' oohs and ahs. :D
