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.

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.

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..

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