    I'd love to see your quilt also. My mom made pillows for the couch when I was a teen in the 60"s using chickenscratch. I never thought of it used on a quilt.

    If you go to www.pinterest.com and sign up, you can type in "chicken scratch" or various forms of that like "embroidery chicken scratch", "chicken scratch embroidery", etc. you will find may Boards that are dedicated to this dying art. I have found that it's very popular in Latin speaking countries. I have a Pinterest account and you can check my boards out. Carol Engeron

    [QUOTE=Geri B;7182742]Hmm, just thinking out loud here..if the gingham is prequilted and you chicken scratch over it won't that leave some threads looser and more likely to get caught by something in use? It's been a LONG time since I did it...but on flat gingham

    used a yard of it and did a baby blanket for my son. came out beautifully. the prequilted held it up so much more nicer.

    http://melindasfabricshop.com/ carries pre-quilted fabric. If she doesn't have what you want, email her and she'll check her resources. Her prices are good.
