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.

It looks great!
The border adds so much!! Good choice!!
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.
Nice job…I have enjoyed watching your progress on this quilt and have to say that it turned out fantastic! Thanks for sharing...
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.
