Chicken run

Finally I began my chicken quilt. The first sewing group of the year was Wednesday 22 January and thus I began to sew again after the lovely Christmas/New Year break. Sometimes it is nice to have a break away from patching just to come back with a fresh mind and sewing fingers!

Chicken wire sewed on ready for rows

I chose a dark brown chicken wire fabric for my sashing inbetween the blocks, very simple, but that is what I wanted. Basically my plan is in my head and I am stitching as I go along. I firstly made a plan in my book to see how the general layout would be like and away I went.

I have sewed all the blocks together and the sashings. Thus the next step is to sew the rows together.
