I made much more progress today. Here are nine fuschia chickens and I only need eight, as it turns out. I have soooo many extra chickens I can open a take-out restaurant.
My Oliso iron decided to burn out. It's replacement will arrive on Thursday, so I have been trying substitute irons. One has a weird beak that was driving me crazy, plus it has auto-off but not an off switch. Very weird. I found another one I like much better. But in both cases, the Oliso has taught me to leave the iron horizontal...not a good habit for a regular iron. And, of course, I switched to the Oliso because Molly likes to perch on the ironing board and taunt me.
And here are the chicken blocks in their rainbow layout. At the time of this arrangement, I was planning a pink diagonal between the fuschia diagonal and the red diagonal. But now I'm thinking that I will have red follow fuschia, then have red orange, followed by bright orange, followed by rusty orange. And there will be three black hens, although Buddy is lobbying heavily for taupe.
Just stunning. I absolutely love your quilts like this - the fish, the pigs... Great fabric combos.
ReplyDeleteThis is so stunning! I just love chickens, and the fabrics used are adorable - making your chicken blocks double adorable.
ReplyDeletelove seeing your progress
ReplyDeleteThese are so adorable, and the whole thing is looking fabulous! You can serve me up some take out chicken!
ReplyDeleteLove this colour layout, the fushia chickens look fantastic. I agree with Buddy, I think big fat black hens will look great against all the other rainbow colours.
ReplyDeleteBuddy always goes for taupe. He needs to loosen up a little. Khaki, maybe, though that might be a little too wild...
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your chicken coop filling up!
What a fun quilt this is turning out to be! And if you have leftover chickens, you can send them to KFC in the UK. I heard they ran out.
ReplyDeleteThis is looking great! Can you use the chicken leftovers in the backing? Too bad about your Oliso!
