Default 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

I named this "Why did the Rooster Cross the Road". Thanks for looking!

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 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!
