And here are some thoughts about this quilt:
*baby chick pattern is from A Quilter's Ark: More Than 50 Designs for Foundation Piecing
*hen pattern is something I came up with based on one of the chickens in this quilt--I'm going to get a tutorial up here on the blog ASAP so you can make your own chicken
*wonky shoo-fly blocks--idea is from Collaborative Quilting
and also from this quilt by Sarah/krommama
and also from this quilt by Sarah/krommama*hand quilting is done with 2 strands of DMC floss in red, yellow, and gray
*bound in soft Heather Ross stripes*the blue plaid is from scraps leftover from the little baby blessing romper I made for my son who's now 5 1/2, don't worry I didn't use it all
*I LOVE it!
p.s. does anyone "get" the name of the quilt, or am I a huge dork and need to explain it?
