Man, I really need to finish my other stuff so I can do more chickens. I've only done one set, but I want them
ALL :wink:

Moosegirl, that is hysterical!! I LOVE it!! I was just thinking that I need to just finish my 3 sets and send them off. Move on to other projects. But everyone keeps posting such fabulous chickens! Somehow I have to figure out what's realistic for me to finish in time. Perhaps if I wasn't on the Board so much checking out everyone else's pictures . . . hmmm . . . could have something there. LOL.

I know what you mean... seams like I live on this board now :lol:

Moosegirl that is so cute!!!!

I have one set finished, and 2 more cut and getting sewn....may have 2 do more now!!!! I really want them all too!!!!!!!!!!

I'm in the same boat...spend too much time here... :roll:

I'm pleading the 5th!!
:lol: :lol: :lol:

Moosegirl.. I LOVE your block!!! I've gotta have one of those too!!

Sandpat.. One of my other blocks is going to be 12 x 16.. and since 16 isn't divisible by 3 (although I think it should be), I'll make them 12 x 18. I'll also do up an egg and see what it looks like..if it looks blech, then I'll have to wait for the other chicken pattern I bought.. (yes, I'm a secret chicken buyer) :lol: and see how big it says to make it!..

Moosegirl..that block is darling!

OK Tuesy....you GO! I think you officially deserve to be the Chicken "Queen"!! :lol: :lol:

I'm glad everyone got a chuckle out of the chicken and I hope you noticed the tiny shark in the wave ready for a chicken snack.
Moosegirl

I have gone chicken crazy. I. must. have. all. chickens.....

I have to laugh reading all of these posts about getting one of every block!
Not going to happen, folks!
It seems like there are about 15 people each wanting one of each block when there may be only 6 blocks in each set for most blocks! I don't envy sandpat trying to divide them up!

I'm still on the fence!
Got my farm blocks ready to mail but I must get started on the Feb quilting bee block and boomerang blocks, then if time permits I will start chickens!
:-D :-D :-D :-D

Moosegirl: What a great block! You have such a great imagination to think of that!

Sadly you are right! it isn't gonna happen getting one of each....but we can keep on dreamin in funky chickens!!
Sandpat has a hard job ahead dividng those chickens up. I will be happy with what I get and can always make more!

Susiequilt, oh I know exactly what you mean, but everyone has come up with such fabulous designs that it is fun to try for them all. Lol- the more the merrier!

Yes, Susiequilt, I did the math a couple of weeks ago and decided to stop running around like a chicken with my head cut off (ha!) because even if I made enough sets, I still wouldn't get one of each. Although I agree that making 6 in a set is a good number. And of course I will be thrilled with whatever I do receive because they are all so fabulously funky!

WHAT?? we're not getting one of each?? Ok, what do I have to do? I NEED CHICKENS!! :lol: :lol:

Someone go push Susie off the fence so she can have some chickens too!. :lol: :lol: You know you want to be a Funky Chicken Fanatic like the rest of us.. :lol:

The only way you can assure to get one of each is to make however many sets of your own to equal the number of other chickens in the swap. SOunds like that's a lot of chickens.

OMG!! All of your chickens are wonderful!
Now I wish I had joined this swap....boo hoo.

Signup closes March 15th, last I checked.

You still have time to join in the fun!!! You know you want too!!

Yeah gramadona...there is plenty of time!

I know...all about the large group wanting one of each and I thought about that...we'll see...I'm thinking that I will take put the cats outside and line them all up on the floor in the den, then its enny, meeny, miney, moe..... :lol: Or it might be really interesting if I leave the cats inside to help me :roll: I'll get it figured out...you will all get fabulous blocks...how could you not?? They are ALL fabulous!

I would like to join your swap. I have a cute chicken pattern. and LOTS of time to make twelve 12" blocks.

Happy Quilting

Sounds great nina! I've put you on the list...we're glad you are gonna play! :D

Ok, so I was thinking about making a strip of eggs, but the only problem is that when I try to make the eggs funky.... they kinda look like easter eggs :cry: Would that be ok or should I find something else.

Heeeheeee....they would kinda look like Easter eggs I guess. What if you make cut a little bit of the top off kind of jagged (like it cracked off) and put a strip of something else between so that it looks like a funky chicken being born??? Maybe the chick would be more funky than the actual egg shell?....just a thought...

Easter eggs!! Brookmarie I made a block that is a chick hatching out so they would kinda go together!! This has been such great fun!

All of these chickens are just terrific!!! You all have made them look so fun. Keep those pic's coming!

karen, what size was your egg block?

Easter eggs are still chickens in my book. Funky eggs like tie-dye or zigzag or spotted or whatever could be a fun addition.

I'm calling uncle and will finish with 3 sets. No "fresh eggs" from me. Sorry guys. There are too many projects waiting in the wings (pun intended) and I really want to do the next Boomerang swap too. Before that starts I must get these other things done. So I'll finish up my 3 sets of chickens and call it good.

Mine are 6.5 x 9.5

oooh goodness. I don't think I can make eggs that big. LOL

Moosegirl...got your blocks today! Ladies...they are even cuter in person...the shark fin is 3D!! DH started laughing when I pulled them out...he said we are just having too much fun!

I'm just catching up with this thread.
The blocks are too cute!!
I would have loved to have joined this one, but have way too much on my plate as it is.....

Yeah...I know you do..but hey...you DO already have 2 funky chickens made that I know of....you would only need to make 4 more to have a set!......tempting??????

These are the finished blocks! I know they aren't perfect I really like them! Hope you all do!

LMAO! You have such a good memory!
As tempting as it is,,,I have to decline.....:(

Karen...yes! I do like them! Those are soome HOT chickies!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Terri....yep...occasionally I can remember some things. If I remember your chicken blocks, but don't remember where I put my keys...hmmm....what does that tell you? :roll:

Karen, the blocks are too cute!

Patti, I actually packed the chicken blocks away the other day. In the box they went, a bit unwillingly, but in the box anyway....

Thank you both!

tlrnhi....those chicks are really wanting to come back out of that box!!! come on now!!! it'll be fun!

Terri...I sure hope you punched some air holes in that box!
