Do you have a pattern for the chickens? My son and dil have chickens and that would make a nice gift.

Our quilt has one rooster amongst the chickens hence the name. The chickens are machine appliqued, we made some of the blocks for the different holidays, such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, Halloween, 4th of July, St Patricks day, etc. The rest are just random and colorful. We also appliqued eggs on some of the blocks with the hens. The hens are on blocks of chicken wire fabric and straw fabric, framed with a wood fabric to mimic a chicken coop. The back is egg fabric. We hand quilted around all the seams and around the chickens then mom used her machine and did a small tacking stitch around on the chicken to finish up the quilting. We had a great time making it and Grandma loved it!

We didn't really have a pattern per say, my mom just drew up the chicken and the rooster, then once we had that we decided on a block size and went looking for fabrics for the block background. We used fabrics from our stashes for the chickens and the rooster. I can check with her and see if she still has the patterns that she drew up, if she does I could copy them and mail them to you. Somewhere along the way we decided to make some eggs to put on some of the blocks. Glad you liked the quilt, it was a fun and creative project that we enjoyed collaborating on. Grandma just loved it! If you want me to check with her on the patterns for the chicken and the rooster just PM me!

What a fun quilt, I'm sure your Grandmother will love it. My sister loved chickens, she would have loved this quilt.
