hey there quilters, here's a head's up!! Put a "chicken quilt challenge" on your mental calendar for late winter/early spring!!! :D

Start collecting your fabric now!! Search for chicken fabric at each shopping trip to your favorite fabric store!! :wink:

Sounds good.

Any recommendations for a chicken quilt pattern?

How much yardage of each fabric would you recommend?

We need to be looking for applique patterns too! Please share if you find any on the net.

Nope, not at all (how's that for an honest answer!!??)!! I'll look into it and let you know!

I usually buy 1 yd if I don't know what I am going to do with it. With this quilt, I will buy at leat 1/2 yd since I don't have a pattern yet!

Great foresight - I will post anything I find, including fabric!

I don't know if roosters count, but i just saw the cutest chicken and rooster material in the new keepsake quilting catalog
it's online too at
