my.sewingroom's Gallery : Fussy Cuts

Roosters in the Coop

Linda — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 10:38:47 GMT

My best friend, Lynda loves roosters! You wouldn't be able to guess if you were to walk into her house!! So I just had to add to the collection on her birthday 2 years ago. The squares are a square within a square. The center square is a fussy cut to make sure that a rooster was in the coop! Each square is quilted in the ditch. The outer border is quilted randomly...the roosters got loose in the border!! My mind isn't all there sometimes. Anyway, that's the story and I'm sticking to it. For Christmas that year, Lynda received the Faithy doll. She is pictured in the gallery with 2 other dolls. The quilt and Faithy doll now reside on a rocker in Lynda's family room.

This Ohio Star quilt is quilted with an Ohio Star motif. The printed fabric is of old airplanes; and one of the airplanes is one that my uncle (pictured) flew as a pilot in the US Air Force. He was so excited to receive this quilt.
