Thanks to QuiltingaddictUK who mentioned her Prairie Chicken quilt on a post earlier this year and designer Nancy Harcourt who provided the pattern free online. It took seven months to complete this quilt. I did the QAYG method for the first time. What a learning experience because I decided to use cornerstones in the sashings. All of the FMQ quilting designs were adapted from Leah Day's book, 365 Free Motion Quilting Designs. The backing is flannel from good thrift store sheets. I added an eighteen inch pillow tuck at the top which makes the quilt 120"x108. The resident Quilt Inspector gives this quilt her approval.
