Just asking. I found some roosters on Nancy Notions, Barnyard Chickens, and they are very pretty. I do not want to invest in them if the idea does not go well together. I was thinking on the front would stitch designs on a light blue batik, set them on point with the dark blue so they stand out as diamonds going down front panels. Then could do them in diamonds going down the sleeves of the jacket set in the dark blue. This way keeping the front and back seperate? Or maybe doing a braided border around bottom of facket with little chicken tracks.
