So I will play with this black and see what it will look like. :D
Before that I was thinking of maybe a large checkerboard type border that resembled chicken wire, but this would certainly be less work. Oh, if you had some more of those little eggs with the feet for the corners. They are sooo cute. I think everybody is in love with this one. I want to do something similar, but i don't collect chickens, maybe whimsical kitty cats for my daughter. I should do one with bugs for Anna. That little girl is going to be an entomologist. She befriends and names all creepy crawlies. I should take her to visit terri in the jungle. (terri of the jungle...how cute!) :wink: |
I'm still checking to see if you've posted the borders yet. I'm going to have to add to my chicken fabric before I can get started on mine. I do have a few...but not nearly enough yet. I have a stack of patterns and I plan to look for several more of those also. I'm thinking of looking at more clip art...I love to use those. So.....hows it coming???

I just love it....was it a BOM?

How's it coming? Well, the only thing I got done this week was cutting the borders! :oops: I was hoping to get to sew today but I was informed last night that I would have to be mechanics helper today while DH works on the big tractor! So probably no sewing again!!!!! GRRRR!!!! :x
|
Now that's my kind of quilt! I love applique and especially love a quilt that is not just the same pattern over and over again. So much personality and great variety of style and color. You should be proud. It is wonderful. :P

well, patti and mgshaw, I applaud you both for helping with a job you'd rather not be doing.
Me and hubby have a deal. I am not mechanically inclined...I know, I could just stand there and hand him tools...been there, tried that...he yells, so I don't 'help', he doesn't 'sew'...and we don't fight, lol! :D |
our arrangement is more like, I will help you if you promise not to help me!!! :lol: :lol:
|
:lol: :lol: :lol: good idea :wink:

I love it and am green with envy :mrgreen: . I have had very little time to sew since the BIG move. Too busy unpacking and organizing and since it warmed up gardening too! But your quilt is really cute. Good job! :thumbup:
