Early in the year will work well for me too. I'm expecting a new granddaughter in the next couple of weeks and will be away from home (and my sewing machine) when we go for a visit.
You know, when I first heard about the challenge to do a chicken quilt the idea didn't really appeal to me. But I started looking at patterns and fabric and now I'm really excited about it. In fact, I've found so many cute patterns I just might have to make more than one. Thanks for the inspiration, mama.

i've never wanted to do a chicken quilt either until I saw a few chicken quilts from members of the board! Now, I see fabric everywhere and purchase a lot!
i'll have to look at my calendar to see exactly when we start - I am also co-chair of our scholastic book fair which is the end of January. And, I need to find out more about dd's hockey schedule and when outdoor hockey will be done before I can set a date for beginning the challenge!

Sounds good to me Steph. I have lots of fabric to buy yet...and I'm trying to get some "breathing" room between big stash purchases. DH's eyeballs are still rolling from the last delivery :oops: and I haven't mentioned to him that I am going to my LQS to take another class at the end of the month...I always buy tons whenever I go there 8)

chicken on a toilet!!?? that's sounds awesome!
I've been doing some thinking on our chicken callenge...since we are all so busy with tons of projects, let's make this a long term challenge, maybe a BOM-type of challenge without forcing a pattern on anyone. We can check in each month, show our progress with an ending date of...I don't know, I'll think about it this weekend!
Between hockey, dd's surgery in March, spring break, I won't have anytime to finish anything until the end of march at my quilt retreat!
I'll post more specifics by Monday when I've had a chance to get some firm dates down and work up a schedule of when we can "meet" and post our monthly results!
bawk, bawk!

I'm having fun with this......my neighbor and good friend is sooooo into chickens and would love a chicken quilt I'm sure.
Will someone please put this poor ole chicken in their quilt so he won't go in the frying pan?
