Last week or the week before I asked on the Main page about the Snippets technique. Our guild has an on-going year long Challenge to produce blocks using a given technique on a theme that each member of the guild has chosen for herself. My theme is Chickens (don't ask!). So here is the picture of my Snippets chicken and my other chickens from the guild challenge......

Holy moly that's some tiny snippets....very cute chicken as well as other blocks. How did you secure all the feathers

So cool!

I ironed strips of Heat and Bond lite to the top part of a narrow strip of fabric. That was the top part of the "feather" adheres but the bottom end is free from the fabric.

I estimate there are about 500 little pieces of fabric - the block measures about 9 in. X 9 in..

Wow bravo.....you have way more patience then me lol

Those are great!! And I love the chicken wire detail!

Oh I love ALL of these! Chickens are always so cute. Your snippets ones are wonderful.

That snippets chicken is so adorable! But I am not sure I have the patience for that either! BRAVO!

Cute blocks!

Looks like you are mastering your chosen technique!

Cute!

wow that looks like a lot of work it is totaly cool keep up with the chickens those are truly cute

Love your snippet chicken. Soooo much work. Great job. Like the other blocks as well.

they are great nice job

love the chickens

Great job!! Thanks for the update on your chickens.

Those are just so-o fun! Thanks for sharing!

I too love Chickens and your Snippets chicken is just about the cutest chicken I've ever seen!! :thumbup:

My goodness... I just looked at your reversable applique and must say I am totally impressed! I am amazed! I've never even heard of snippets and have to say that I'm sure that took you FOREVER to do, but it definitely was worth it to get a chicken like that. Keep at it and your quilt is going to look awesome!!!

The chicken is soooo cute! I love the fact that they 'feather' at the bottom.

What a cool idea that your guild came up with and you are so creative in tackling each month's assignment. LUV your chickens.

All your blocks are so cute, the first one must have taken a long time to make the snippets as well as placing them. How did you attach them. I love the Mother hen and chick, one, too. These are just great works.

What fun this challenge must be. Your snippets are wonderful. Enjoy the whole process

Love, love, love that adorable snippet chicken!!! lol

Thanks to you all for the compliments! I have fun doing these blocks even though they are time-consuming. Our challenge for this month is paper piecing. :| I've never done paper piecing so this should be interesting!!

500 snippets I am impressed and that is one great looking chicken! :) The mother and baby chicken block is so sweet. Love these blocks and looking forward to seeing your PP chicken.

Very nice….Question….When you wash the quilt will the feathers fray like with a rag quilt?

Very clever fashion on your snippit chick.

Very cute!

Really cute, great job!

The "snippets" must have been just a whole lot of fun. The results are darling.

Wow, that is one fluffy bird. You did a great job.

I absolutely LOVE the first chicken. He's so happy!

great job...love them....

Adorable!

Outstanding.

Love love the chickens! Great job and thank you for sharing

Awesome! Is there a pattern?

Ditto...how did u do this ???

I went online and did a search for quilted chickens and used some of the pictures that I found. Then I adapted the picture to fit the technique that I was going to use. The hardest part for me was to figure out how to adapt the pattern from the picture. Once I had my head around the process, the rest was easy.
