What mistakes? Wow that is very cute. I like the idea of the chicken wire fabric and black. Could throw in some chicken eggs.

i would go with black but keep it simple and sophisticated if it's for a grownup room. eggs and other novelty if it's for a child's room.


edit: it's already too sophisticated for a child. go for black. :wink:

I'm no good with borders, but love the chix. Have been admiring these guys more than once and you did a beautiful job.

Thanks a bunch everyone. You have made up my mind for me. In each of the roosters, their belly is done with a black print. I thought I wanted to use that as the border and all your comments sealed it. It is a little classy looking, not country. Believe it or not a lot of the fabrics were Asian. It is going in my family room which also has roosters in the theme, but classy roosters.

Now for my immediate problem. I posted a picture of the border fabric I want to use because I don't have enough. I put it under the "Main topics" labeled Have you seen this fabric? Maybe I'll be lucky and someone has a bit or knows a shop that does.

Thanks so much for your help. You were all right on about the black. I'll be sure to post when I have it together.

Not sure if you have already put the black border on, but what about a thin border of the yellow cornerstone fabric and then a wider black border?

The black border fabric is on its way. Thanks to "Justwannaquilt" and "ghostrider". They knew just where to send me. I have been looking for months and they told me where to find it in minutes. What a great site we have here. What better way to quilt?????

Great idea on the thin border of the cornerstone fabric. I will definitely audition that as soon as my black fabric gets here. Thanks elfvinnd
