Penny's right, Melissa.
This fabric is GREAT for your border. It doesn't upstage the center at all, bc the chickens in the outer border are smaller or appear to be. The ones in the center are 'show' chicks. The others on the outside are just everyday chicks going about their business. Well, your finally done and really have something there to crow about! fantastic job, I love it. :D

Its kind of on the large side ( 90 x 65) so I really dont have a good spot to hang it. But I do plan on making a 3 chicken wallhanging for my kitchen!

It's beautiful - a chicken quilt is something I must do soon, especially as I just got some great panels from the wonderful and kind Butterflywing! :D

Marci.
I to think a lot about how I am going to quilt something.
Just a suggestion, do decorative zig-zag around the chickens, picking up the color of each chicken with the thread you use, then in the ditcv around the squares. Then random egg shapes on the border in black. Don't you dare not quilt this, it is too beautiful not to finish. I taught my self to machine quilt and I love it. I am still not a pro at it but I find it very theraputic, even more then making the actual quilt.
I am doing my first applique which I am quilting now. I am making a pillow sham to go with my youngest grandson's quilt. I am having so much fun quilting it. I designed a small bulldozer applique using one of the bulldozers on the construction vehicle print I used on the quilt. I will post it when I am done.
Bite the bullet girl, we all want to see this done!! Or you could send it to me and I will quilt it for you. :wink: :wink: :wink: Just kidding!!
