(in case you're wondering, the Kona colors in this quilt are stratosphere and duckling. the whites are just a huge hodge-podge of low volume scraps)
i started this quilt a few years ago (maybe 2?) when Amanda Jean (of Crazy Mom Quilts) was doing a JuneQAL on her blog. ( i have several of the books that she's written, along with Cheryl, which are some of my FAVORITE quilting books of all time)
obviously i changed up the color scheme quite a bit, but i made this quilt to be more of a "summer" quilt, and it matches the scrappy bed quilt i made 2 years ago.
what's with the chicken, you wonder? the girls (my 2 teenage daughters, A & B) are always frustrated with the chickens in our flock- they can be so mean to any chicken that has a perceived weakness. so they "rescued" this hen from the flock, and brought her up to be with the donkey, Daisy. the rescued hens usually stay up with the donkey for awhile, making a general nuisance of themselves, and then she (the hen!) gets kicked out of the pasture, and goes back down with the flock.

I love your version of JUNE! Amanda Jean’s book, No Scrao Left Behinf, is on my shelf also! And I’ve borrowed Sunday Morning Quilts from the library! Love them all!
Oh, I do love her quilts and books as well. Your version is beautiful.
Beautiful projects, and I so used to enjoy Amanda Jean's blog and her gorgeous ideas. Hens can be so cruel to othrre, pleased this one is getting a little "time out"
Nice quilt, and great idea to use the low volume scraps! I remember that quilt along, although I didn't have time to participate. I always loved how Amanda Jean worked with scraps, she's so talented. Her books are great, too, very straight forward instructions.
Congrats on finishing up your JuneQAL!! I'm right behind you with mine. It's been quilted and will soon be bound. LOVE how you went neutral on your SnowflakeQAL quilt! Best of luck with the quilting.
