My mother loved chickens. She grew up in VA during the Depression, on a farm. I have inherited her love for them, also. Mother always liked to see the new born horses and calves in the spring. She is gone now. Love your chickens.

Once I figured out how the technique and how I was going to use it to make a chicken, of all things, it didn't take long at all - maybe an hour and a half with the snipping and ironing.

It's not so much to master the technique but it is time-consuming cutting all of the little pieces for the feathers. Then I had to pick each one up with tweezers, set several of them in place and then iron them on.
There are lots of snippet projects on the web - just google snippet quilting - but I think the chicken idea is so much fun.

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......
