Well, here I am with a *UFO that is finally finished! I began this nine-patch block a year ago and then just set is aside and forgot all about it. Then I heard about the Black Tie Boogie chicken themed, blog-hop and just knew I had to participate!
So, after all this time, I resurrected the little Rhode Island Red. She was constructed from some scraps I had left over from the first full-sized quilt I made. I framed her in a half-inch border of red batik, followed by a two-inch border of brown batik. Then I began the hand quilting, and binding, and now she’s done!
Hint: Clicking the first photo will take you into the carousel for a closer look!
-
- My little Rhody looks fine hanging on the wall.
-
- Her comb and wattle are needle turned applique, and stuffed.
-
- She has a secret on the back. A zipper!
-
- Voila! Now she’s a pillow!
-
- I couldn’t resist sharing this one last shot with you. I think she looks like stained glass!
Please don’t forget to visit all the other lovely quilting ladies in the hop today!
Thank you Vicky of More Stars in Comanche and Madam Samm of Sew we Quilt for hosting this blog-hop and for making me feel comfortable to join into all the fun!
