Chubby Chicks

 Above are two of the quilted chicks and  pic of the first two rows and the chicken wire inner border done.  The pics below are of the quilting I'm doing on the chicken wire borders.  Someone said that they thought I should tighten my upper tension a little bit more.  Nice idea but I battled and battled with Mo'e and adjusted the top tension, the bobbin tension, changed needles, changed bobbins and then noticed dust bunny IN the bobbin case so cleaned that out.  My threads kept breaking.. since changing bobbins and evicting the dust bunny, it's been going better. 

I decided to do 'wishbones' in the border triangles - just the green pieces. 

I'm really liking this quilt.  I thought it was so so when it was just a completed top... my quilting is actually making a difference - for the good ( at least in my opinion and it's my quilt so it's mine that counts lol).

Anyway, I finished row 4 of 7 today and hope to get the remaining three done tomorrow... I want to put feathers around the outer green border, but not quite sure how I want to do them - there are so many options, you know  :).

Ok, I'm beat... it was a long day - had thought about going to guild meeting tonight but I got so involved in working on the quilt ( I was having FUN) that when I asked hubby what time it was and he told me 5:10, I knew that I wouldn't have time to fix dinner, eat dinner, shower & get dressed in time... and I hadn't called anyone for a ride either!  Oh well... I'll see them in two weeks :). 

Heading for bed...

take care
