WooHoo! Yippee!!! I have completed all the blocks for the Funky Chicken quilt! I'm looking forward to doing the quilting on this quilt. I will be doing it either block by block, or vertical strip by strip. I'm leaning towards sewing 4 vertical blocks for 3 strips and quilting each of these before putting together. That will leave me with only 2 seams to do after the quilting is done.

The quilting that I have decided to do will be free motion done on my Bernina 830. I'll do pebbles on the lower portion and a larger, more open swirl-something on the top. I also plan to do a bit of detail quilting in matching thread color on the chickens themselves.
I have enjoyed working on these blocks so much throughout the year. They were just FUN!!!! A big shout out and thank you to Fat Cat Patterns for providing these wonderful blocks each month. Just in case anyone missed it with the first block I posted, the original patterns are for hand/machine applique. I digitized the embroidery stitches on these blocks for my own use and they will not be shared or sold.
Keep On Stitchin'!
