Wow! I just found this beautiful chicken pattern ($8.50 each! pricey). What great inspiration:

There are lots of free ones too!
I'm busy collecting them. I will join once I have 2 that I'd be willing to share. :-)

My best guess is that they will make me make a block for each of my 8 chickens. And maybe a few of the ones that are no longer with us.

Lucky thing I have colorful, beautiful chickens!

Hi Jami, welcome!

You are going to love this swap. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Did you notice Pat P who has 30,000 chickens? My DH and I also have chickens. :-D

Thanks everyone! After posting those links I saw the other Link and printed the pattern and started cutting...
I don't have a lot of solids but this was a cute white muslin with embroidered ladybugs. I think I can only fit 4 on this FQ so I'll have to find another for the last 2.

Is this funky enough? :-)
