You won't look dumb, lawsonmugs. I was worried about switching blocks on the Farmer's Daughter. It works out. Your quilt will be unique to you and that's a good thing. Love the chicken wire idea. My bee is the Red Hens so I have used a similar fabric on other quilts. I'm hoping for a chicken also, of course, mine will be red. I have even thought about having a downed board on one of the fences for fun. I just wanted to maintain the horizon line since I kept it in the two other blocks in the row. If I had used the 3 floating sunflowers, I wouldn't have switched the last pattern. But I grounded it with the horizon. Go for your idea, you will be glad you did.
