This is to document my love of and obsession with fabric and quilts! The true, guilty story of buying "just a little bit more", of shopping at thrift stores for the extra large mens shirts to use in your next quilt..and yes..even eyeing up your best friends blouse wondering if she'd notice if you "borrowed" it and just how many 2 inch strips you could get out of it!

Farm Animal Finale!!
Yay! It is all quilted and the binding is machine stitched on, just awaiting the hand stitching tonight. This was a big quilting project for me, and it feels GREAT to have it done! I do love my chickens strutting along the border! It measures in at 72" x 72" and is backed in a flannel. Talk about heavy and warm!!
Now, off to enjoy a dinner of yummy spare ribs, potato salad and cucumber salad..and wine! Hopefully more stitching later!

ReplyDeleteDid you hand stitch them?
It is a great quilt and I do think your chickens were a really brilliant finishing touch.
ReplyDeleteWay to go!
ReplyDeleteWow, Reenie, what a pretty quilt. I LOVE your chicken quilting. My niece would go nuts over this quilt. She is very into anything with chickens. LOL. Another gorgeous quilt, as always.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Your "messy" quilting room is still better than mine! LOL.
