Do you have any black bias tape on hand, like 1/4". For some odd reason, I have lots of it on hand, a few boxes of the stuff, all widths and colors. I would use that, put it on each piece like you are binding a quilt. It turns in the round also because it is bias. I just picked up an old 2000 quilting magazine and it has 2 roosters and one chicken running, and since the DE Blue Hen is the U/DE mascot, I think I will try to make this one. Surprise my daughter who is a devoted fan. Good luck with whatever method you use.
