Chickens

Chickens Top, 60" x 55"

Plaid Chickens top, from a new pattern by Cluck Cluck Sew. A glue stick was helpful instead of pinning the very small (1") pieces, and I also had to analyze best pressing options during assembly as they were not provided. I made labels for the pieces, as they were referenced both by size and by letter - and with two different blocks there was a lack of clarity.

The backing is pieced from a second set of matching fat quarters, maker unknown.

My new quilt studio is coming along. The floor went in last week, and this week the inside window trim is in progress. Left to come on the construction: a gutter and a doorknob. The first thing inside will be an 8' x 8' (96" square) design wall, attached to the wall. Previously I had a 4' x 8' wall (the board is being recycled here) and two 4' x 6' loose boards in my studio. Both were awkward to use as one was behind an ironing board and the movable boards were repositioned for access quite frequently.
