Feathered Stars
It's a finish!
And it is all hand quilted.
80.5 x 97.75
Chickens and Roosters are the Feathered Stars of this quilt.
You can't really see the hand quilting very well in these photos but you can see some of the hand quilting in the December 2020 post back when I started the quilting.
There's a feathered wreath in the center of the block...
...and lines in the neutral spaces of the block...
...and there are hand quilted feathers in the sashing.
I used a lot of big print chicken fabrics that I didn't want to cut into for piecing the backing.
Now these Feathered Stars can roost with their wilder cousins - Boho Roosters - that I finished back in 2018.
I still have some poultry fabrics so someday another cousin may join the hen party.

That is beautiful, Cathy! The feathered stars are such a neat block, but your chicken fabrics steal the show. I love the ones on the back, too - fun!
LOVE the chickens!
WOW! Just stunning!!! I love that you hand quilted it!
WOW! I haven’t visited your blog in a long time. I just peruse the highlights of most of the blogs I have continued to read all these years on BlogLovin. How long have you been blogging? Your post today though just popped out at me and I know why! Your quilt is so beautiful! And all those tiny triangles! Just gorgeous ❤️ So happy to read your post - thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us. Take care ❤️
You probably used a lot of scraps as you made those beautiful star blocks, but the quilt looks like every fabric was chosen for its particular place! Great job! My dad raised show chickens, and he would have loved your quilt! ---"Love'
What a gloriously personal combination of conversation chickens with a masterfully pieced block. The collection of fabrics and colors (red, green, yellow) elevates the quilt even more. Beautiful quilting, too. This was the week to quilt under it and now you can snuggle under it. Congratulations, Cathy.
SO lovely! All of those chicken prints came home to roost beautifully in your lovely quilt. And kudos on hand quilting it - hand quilted always feels so soft and cozy.
Oh my, what a huge amount of work! And hand quilted? It's absolutely spectacular and so worth all of your beautiful effort.
Congratulations on your finish, it is gorgeous!
Oh wow oh wow!! What an amazing quilt your Feathered Stars is! Such precision piecing to be seen....oh all those itty bitty triangles! Gorgeous fabrics. Gorgeous quilting...AND....as for all those sweet chickens in varying fabrics on the back....just fabulous. I must say it looks beautiful photographed in your wintry wonderland. A most amazing finish. Congratulations to you!
What a pretty quilt. The stars are really feathery around the points and I love the centre hen fabrics. Hand quilted and great pieced backing. A definite winner and an absolute keeper!
Wonderful quilt. I love the chicken theme.
I love every thing about this quilt...the theme, the fabrics, the color, the piecing! Fantastic finish! :)
I love opening the email with your newest blog posts. There’s always something crazy creative in it, and this one is no exception. Such beautiful colors, and such workmanship!
First of all, love "Feathered Stars" = Chickens and Roosters. And if the fact that this is a Feathered Star quilt AND hand quilted isn't enough, then I see the backing -- Love it! Oh, you had to have had a lot of fun making this one. Thank you for sharing it, it made my day!
So beautiful, everyone loves chickens! But......I'm wondering how you found the time for hand quilting as you always seem so very busy stitching multiple projects. Congratulations, it's a lovely finish.
Your quilt is BEAUTIFUL! And no points are cut off. What a lot of work. I can't believe how much you get accomplished. The backing fabrics are perfect, too.
Fabulous job!!! I love it from the pattern, to the fussy cut centers, to the quilting, to the backing, to the perfect name!
What a beautiful, beautiful quilt! And with such a fun vibe too. You are a master at that.:) Love the backing. So perfect!
I love this! The contrast on feathered stars is delightful and chickens are always a good choice. Very fun!
