OK, I don't know what possessed me to purchase this stash (1/2 yd. minimum of each) but I did. I have no idea what to do with it. I'm not really a chicken person (but it's SO PRETTY)...and thus it begins...I admit to a fabric addiction!

I began quilting in February at the age of 60 & I have a lot of catching up to do, not to mention a lot of expertise to gain.

I live in Arizona and my decor is strictly southwest (earth tones, serous Native American pottery, no pastels, geometric Native American designs/rugs, etc.). My wall art is also limited to southwest and Native American images. And, now I have this collection of chicken fabric calling to me to "DO SOMETHING" with it.

My first thought is to make a wall hanging for the dining/kitchen area. It can't be more than 24" wide (my only "free" wall space can't accommodate anything bigger).

If anyone has ideas, I'm all ears/eyes!

Thanks for this quilting board. I'm single/divorced & this is my only connection to the outside world. I learn so much from reading your hints, suggestions, questions, solutions, etc. - not to mention how I admire the photos of incredibly gorgeous quilts that make me drool! You're so inspiring!

Thanks in advance for your input.
