Okay all, seems we have enough interest, but I can see some people prefer dogs/cats and others want chickens. I think since this originated with chickens, that's what we will stick with. I will get the rules put together, clear it with the powers that be, and get it posted asap.
Just so everyone knows, I don't think we should limit what type of block (applieque, pieced...), but rather just limit the size so they are consistent.
Be back in touch on this - hopefully tomorrow!!
