I Made a Giant Rooster (It Was A Dare)

  • My friend REALLY wanted a rooster quilt in patriotic colors as a bedspread. I told him "no" at first. But then, the idea wouldn't leave my head. So, I started collecting together the right fabrics and next thing I knew, Mr. Rooster took on a life of his own!!
    This is just my documented process as I went on my "double dare" rooster journey.
    We have a smaller rooster pattern that is available to purchase here: www.merrymabel...

    As the proud recipient of Mr. Rooster Guy, I can tell you that even this video doesn’t do justice to how amazing the finished quilt truly is. Every detail is perfect! I don’t often make dares, but when I do, it is to my most talented friends…

    Never thought of using a long arm to appliqué. Now I want one! And never would have tried to appliqué individual feathers, but that’s what makes it so beautiful. The whole pint of doing something like this is to lose yourself in the process, you’re brilliant!

    This rooster is amazing!! I love him!! me and my best friend have a running joke going for years with roosters. As a kid, my mother loved roosters. I just thought they were creepy. So now anytime my friend and I find an odd rooster we pick it up and save it for Christmas and birthdays. It’s really gotten to be fun to see what kind of goofy rooster we found. I’m starting to really like roosters and this would be perfect for her!! not what she expects lol

    Wow, I love the colours in the rooster. Your "collar" fabric suits him beautifully. I've bern workung on a similar project, for months, on my domestic, involving a tree and lots of leaves.
    I did them in various shades of greens, double sided, turned them out, sewed around the edges, sewed veins in them all and then sewed them onto the tree too, but only attached by the top of the leaf, so they are all loose on the tree.
    I was doubting myself, but after seeing yr rooster, I'm actually quite pleased with mine now ( being an amateur home quilter)
    Thank you for yr videos.
