Finished Chicken Flimsy

I straightened out the Chicken quilt top and sewed 3-1/2" strips to all four sides. It's now 59" (150 cm) wide by 85" (216 cm) tall.

The quilt really needed this extra space to breathe. I think the quilt looks a lot prettier. 

Next up: finishing the backing, so I can send it to Chris to be quilted.

What a fun quilt or flimsy. Great to go through the whole process with you.

Love the finished quilt top, can't wait to see how it's going to be quilted. I really love your quilts and wonder if you took a quilt class to learn the technique or could you recommend a book as I'd love to make one.

Yes, I see what you mean about giving the quilt graphics room to breathe. So very much cleverness here!

I agree that the border adds visual appeal to the quilt. Good choice. And, like others, I enjoyed learning and watching you as you shared your thoughts and processes as you made this quilt. Thank you.
