Good ideas so far ...... Thanks.
Here was another brain storm I came up with: My parrot could be the bachelor in search of a mate. I could name it "The Bachelor...", as in the TV show. I'd put him in the center of my quilt and surround him with bachelorettes. I have a paper pieced pattern to make kind of a funky looking toucan. I could make several toucans and dress them up with hats, jewelry, etc. so each would be different. The center parrot and all the toucans would have a little write up about themselves that I could print out. This could be pretty funny!
