Chicken in the nick of time

I managed to get one more finish done in 2012, Checkered chickens.

I have been saving chook fabric for about 2 years and had in mind to make a quilt with it but had no pattern.  Then I found this one on ebay and knew it was meant to be the one.  It was an easy fun quilt to make and I simply stitched around each chook and did an all over stipple.
