Doll Quilt Swap

I've been just about to burst waiting for Scott to receive the quilt that I sent him for the swap. He just posted about it on his blog, so I can spill the beans. I had originally made the very girly cathedral window quilt, then found out that I was sending a quilt to a "manquilter". When I got the specs, he said that among other things, he liked colors from the civil war era and chickens. I poked around on his blog a little and from what I could gather, he was a little tired of his office job, which I can totally relate to, now that I work at home instead of in an office. I still wanted to send a cathedral window, then the idea hit me...gray, chickens, cathedral window....chicken wire/office cubicals.I left one of the cubicals empty - no chicken - and replaced it with a hand stitched nest with a few blue nickels - the name of Scott's studio - and wrote a special note that I hand stitched on the back of the quiltI tea dyed the quilt to give it a little more authentic look and at the risk of being a little cheesy, added a button of a rooster. One "manquilter" among the many chicks. It was a lot of fun getting to "know" him through his blog, and trying to personalize the quilt. I'm definitely up for another trade...after a little while.
