I need some help on deciding what kind of block to do for these 3 fabrics. My BIL has made a chicken coop in his backyard and I'm doing this for a joke. I want the chicken fabric to be the focus material. I've seen the warm wishes block but want other ideas also.

Thank you in advance.

D9P using the focus fabric as the larger blocks would work! Also use the pattern that the Downy quilts are made from.

How about square in a square, alternating the secondary fabrics when you place the blocks.

How about attic windows. The chickens can be the focus fabric you see "out of the windows"

Does it have a repeat in it?
I don't know what I am talking about because I don't know how to do one yet but veterans: Would a stack and whack work with the chicken fabric and the solids for sashing and binding??????? Love those chickens...

how about the "attic window" block.

ooops, I see someone already suggested the attic window. I think it's rather easy, you just need to do mitered corners in each block.... or you could just do a square window with no mitered corners
