Rooster Panel Quilt
 

This was a panel I picked up for 5 or 6 bucks the last time we drive through western Virginia. I thought I'd use it for practicing on my LA, to try out some things. The original panel had another row of small birds across the top -- I took that off, and added the outer two borders (1/2 inch red, and wider blue one).

I named this one "Why did the Rooster Cross the Road?"

My favorite part of this is the chicken wire quilting in the blue border. It went really quickly and looks pretty neat.

I didn't like the way my travel stitches showed between the blue and red, so when I took it off the frame, I used my dsm to put a decorative stitch along that edge. I liked it so much I did another one on the inner small 1/4 inch red square, and also used the same stitch to attach the binding.

Finally, I didn't do much quilting on the roosters (just the tail feathers), and after binding it all, I decided to finish them off with a few beads

wow wow wow i love it everything about it if my dil saw this she wold want it she loves roosters her kitchen is all roosters and of course i made her a of rooster stuff..............i too love the chicken wire quilting

Love it. You did a FABULOUS job.

I like how the stitching that you added gives a more Americana air, to me. Adorable.

Very nicely quilted. I especially like the honeycomb pattern in the border. I have that very old stencil from the 90s and have used it more often over the years than I would have thought.

Your quilting is terrific! You made a real piece of art out of this panel!

Your addition of blanket stitching really adds the right finish. Also adding beads and topstitch to the roosters makes them look appliqued and not a panel. Great job on your quilting!

very cute quilt!!!

Your quilting is really really nice! I especially like that hexagony pattern. Really dresses up that panel!

Cute! I really like your quilting choices and you did a fantastic job of it!

I love rooster decor. I have it in my kitchen and have never tired of it. In fact, I have used it three kitchens as we have moved a lot. I really like what you did with a panel print. Every technique you used added beauty to your art piece. Great job and a real inspiration for others to try it out.

Wow, great panel, great quilting and great beads!!!

Ha! I like the name you gave your quilt. I like the touch your decorative stitches gave to the look of your quilt. Love all the quilting designs you used,too. Ok, here is my answer to" Why did the Rooster Cross the Road?" He saw a cute Chick!:)

What a great quilt and I really like the chicken wire quilting in the border.

Great quilt and quilting!

You could've knocked me over with a feather when I saw this wonderful quilt. Your quilting choices are amazing.
Never thought of quilting two different patterns on the same block. The chicken wire is brilliant. You've really created something very special. Great job!!!!!

What a great way to spruce up a panel and make it interesting and inviting. You did a great job!!!

Very cute and beautiful quilting. I like the stitching on the binding, etc.

Your roosters rock! Beautiful quilting and such an upbeat theme. Enjoy.

Just adorable. I love using panels to practice FMQing, but it doesn't look like you need much practice. What a fun quilt and you really dressed it up with your quilting. Absolutely love the chicken wire!

Beautiful quilt. The roosters on the bottom look 3D. Like they are walking right off the quilt. lol

Beautiful job, and your quilting is awesome.

Your quilting is a-MAZ-ing! The chickenwire is so cute and I love how you gave the roosters cobblestones to walk on. Very, very good!

luv your stitching....really nice!!!
