Rachel... Your chicken is adorable!
Do you have a pattern for her?

I found this one here:

http://www.yvonnes.dk/chickenpattern.htm

I printed it and resized it to be a 6" block (6.5 after pp it and trimming with a 1/4 seam outside the paper). I think it prints at 6.5, so you could just piece it with that size and not leave an extra 1/4 on the outside.

I use this freezer paper method for pp:

Which worked great on this chick, and I just fused the beak on. :)

Cheers!
Rachel

Karen...of course you can have a copy of it. I'll stick it in with your return blocks if that is ok.....

Now I have to go check out the new posted links...

Rachel... Thank you so much!
The paper piecing tut. is great as well!
You quilters are full of wonderful information
and I'm learning lots.
Thanks!

Thank you so much! That will be great mailing it.

I have not sewn this down yet. is the black polka dots to much?

Karen, I think the black is perfect. It really makes the other colors shine. Please please keep it just like that. I love it!

(I'm making one with a black polka dotted background also. I like how you think.) :lol:

This little chicken is 3 inches. It was the first time I tried to hand embroidery...hope it is ok....

The black is going to be 9 inches.

That is 5 sets Patti!! I just keep finding such cute chickens!

Thank you sew cornie! I love polka dots!

I love the polka dots and don't think it is too much. :D

The little chicky is cute too! There are tons of great patterns out there. I cut out the rest of my pieces for Peace man last night and I'm gonna have to call it quits at 4 sets....I have to get on some other projects...but these sure are fun!
