I have been slowly detailing all of the UFO’s that are currently in my studio, including those that I have inherited over the years….. here is another one from my Mom.
As I have mentioned before, my Mom was a fantastic quilter and adored doing handwork, especially blanket-stitching around appliques.
A few years before she passed away, she started making a chicken quilt, finishing these 6 blocks before she lost interest in the project….
She also had several more patterns and loads of the chicken wire fabric.
My original thought was that I needed to make more chickens to make the quilt larger, but now I think I can finish it as it is, adding borders and quilting it well.
I am not sure what I will do with the finished project, but it will be nice to get it finished…
EVENTUALLY!

Those chickens are delightful! My husband and I owned a B&B in the Catskill Mts. back in the early 2000s. We called it The Crowing Rooster B & B after my love of all things chickens and roosters. Your moms quilt made my day!
Thanks Susan. At first I wasn’t sure I liked them, but they have definitely grown on me!! I am glad that they brought a smile to your face!!
What beautiful chickens! I can’t wait to see what you do with these blocks. How precious.
Aren’t they fun Andrea!! As I have looked at them this week, I am thinking that it might be fun to put them in one long column…a long, skinny quilt!!
