Speedy Chicken Contemplation

Today got off to a rocking start...I was cutting the rest of the triangles for the string star quilt and I had a great idea for quilting the speedy chickens...how about a chicken wire fence overlay in quilting. Seemed wonderful in my mind, but now that I have the chickens up on the design wall I'm not to sure. So while I was letting this idea simmer, I soon found myself trapped under a boulder again.

Here is the boulder a year ago when he was a mere pony.

  1. I think quilting chicken wire is a killer idea, but also a killer in practice. Do you have a long-arm or mid-arm? If you use your DSM, you’ll have a dead arm! And just how much does Buddy the Boulder weigh these days (or is that a closely guarded secret)?

  2. Your chickens may complain about being fenced in lol--really though, that would seem to be a super idea, but a whole lot of work..Hugs, julierose

  3. Smitty is wondering why you need a ranch for your pony when you already live in a barnyard.

  4. If you do a cross hatch - diagonal diamonds - that would work. Love your boulder and Molly!

  6. I like that chicken fencing idea to contain those speeding chickens. Might save them from boulders too.

  8. I like the chicken wire idea, too. But I'm also struggling to think of a way to make it happen without having to pull your hair out.
    At least your boulder is warm and fluffy. Could be worse...
