Hen Party Quilt

Sometimes when a customer brings a quilt for quilting it can take a while to come up with the ideal quilting solution to ensure that quilt is made to look its best.  However, when I saw this quilt with chickens, I immediately thought of this 'chicken wire' digital pantograph by JoAnn Hoffman.

Wendy hand stitched this quilt using a French General Dessert Roll using a pattern 'Hen Party' by The Quilt Room.

The back was also pieced using some of the French General fabric that was left over from the project.  I think the 'chicken wire' pattern gives a great all over pattern on the reverse as well.

Once it was quilted, I returned it to Wendy who is now busy stitching on buttons for the eyes.

    I really enjoyed reading about the Hen Party Quilt and the unique 'chicken wire' pantograph pattern by JoAnn Hoffman. It's nice how the quilting pattern fits so well with the chicken design. It reminds me of how important small details are when putting together something comfortable and attractive. Speaking of comfort, I recently wondered about the price of an 8 inch double bed mattress price in Pakistan, as many people seek a mattress that looks good, is affordable, and comfortable. Quilts and mattresses both add to making a bed cozy, so it's interesting to think about the combination. Thanks for sharing the quilt story!
