Any recommendations for a chicken quilt pattern?

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? http://www.clipartof.com/details/clipart/5503.html |
I'm game. A chicken quilt is a prefect thing with living in the keys. Chickens roam the city of Key West. They are protected. One of the things that makes Key West fun. I have wanted to try a chicken quilt every since I saw Marcia's quilt. It is beautiful.

i am so excited that there is interest in this!! I'll take this on to organize and all that stuff and will post more about it as the mood strikes, but definitely way before we are to start!
Thanks to all for the websites and links for all things chicken related - I hope to get some time soon to browse on my own and do some shopping!! |
Thanks Steph . You are a hero for doing this. :D Don't forget to stay in contact.

Sorry I"m not into chickens, but it would be a fun one. This morning I went to a store that was closing out their fabric. There was a chicken fabric with little chickens abouit the size of a dime on a brown woven-look backgrouind. I did look at it twice, but decided against it, even tho it was only $2.39/yd.
