Thank you again everyone!!! Muah!!!

I really like that....never saw that pattern before. I have been doing sashing on my quilt this evening too...its taking me a long time. I have never done sashing before. done for the night...getting too tired, I am hoping to finish the sashing tomorrow...I am trying to make sure I quilt a few hours every weekend. It harder to find time to quilt now that I am working again, but I will make the time.

Thank you in advance.

I'm attaching a picture of a pattern that I have named "Chicken Coop." I'll send it to you if you want it.

After I posted my previous reply, I saw that you've already decided about your quilt. Good choice! He'll like that.

Here it is...I'm happy with the way it turned out. I was wondering if I should add another border. The inside border is 2 1/2". It's already long enough for my BIL the way it is now. But does it look unfinished with only the one border?

I think the attic window would be good too! Oops, spoke too soon. Very cute!

That would make a great attic window. Oh gee - I guess I should have finished reading the thread, lol. LOVE those chickens. It looks perfectly framed to me just as is.
