Feathered Star
It's a top!
80 1/2 x 97 3/4
I blogged last month a little bit about this UFO started in March 2018. Last month I vowed to work on it a little bit every day until I had a top. My determination paid off.
I love novelty fabrics and have quite a few collections of different themes. This quilt came out of the chickens and roosters box. I fussy cut some big prints for the star centers but really didn't make a dent in the poultry fabrics. I'm always looking for different ways to use large print novelties and sometimes a play on words triggers a quilt. Why not use chickens and roosters and make them the Feathered Stars! (Crazy, I know!)
Pattern is from 19th Century Patchwork Divas' Treasury of Quilts by Betsy Chutchian and Carol Staehle.

that is a nice large quilt - love the pattern
Another spectacular quilt!! I am awed by your work.
Wow so much work in these feathered stars. You make me wish I had collected novelty prints as they make such wonderful quilts
Wonderful!! I want to make a large feathered star quilt someday, I love you how have stars in the corners of the sashing. Beautiful! Please don't put it in a drawer for awhile, I want to see how you quilt it!
Stunning folk art quilt (as it appears to me), from the chickens and the vast variety of fabrics. This quilt needs to grace one of the quilt magazines.
There's another very lovely quilt! I just don't know how you get so much done --- everyday! ---"Love"
WOW! That is a gorgeous quilt!!! Your perseverance has a huge payoff on this one. :-)
Oh that is spectacular!!!
I like this quilt! Congratulations on finishing this top! Sandy at sewhigh.blogspot.com
Fantastic finish and great use of your chook fabric collection!
Feathered stars + chickens? Sets my heart aflutter! LOVE it!
I like it. A whole lot.
lots of work but done very well...
That is beautiful
How do you do it? It seems like every time I read your blog you have another finish! And they are always spectacular! Jealous. :)
That's the quilt I was going to make some 30 years ago - before I had the skills to pull it off - with chickens in the centers of the stars. :D Well done!
Love it! I'm a sucker for chicken fabrics, and the feathered star block is a real beauty. The combo is making me cluck with admiration :)
Congratulations on finishing this top! What a creative and clever way to use novelty fabrics. From far away, you can't tell what the "theme" is - then the closer you look, you see the feathered friends (stars;)).
Wow! I love it! :)
Fabulous! You truly made the chickens the feathered stars.
Wow--it's whimsical and gorgeous all in one--wonderful finish!
What's not to love about chickens and roosters? It's a great quilt, although I have to admit I would never attempt a feathered star, all those tiny pieces!
Your creativity is amazing... that word play inspiration lead to this amazing quilt is so cool!
I had to chuckle that you had a chicken and roosters box (and still lots lots of poultry left). Inspired to use them in a feathered star.
