I am smitten! Smitten with all these chickens!! Aside from how they make me want to giggle because they're so cute and festive and those eyes just beg for a belly laugh - but your fabric selection and the applique is just perfect! So, so, very fun and sew, sew beautifully done!
BTW - I snooped over on the Sooners and l.o.v.e. your gorgeous block posted this afternoon! Cheesehead, your work is very impressive
