LOL patti!
I have no real details yet. I am finishing up the IRR block to pass on to Mary plus slide show for my DD's hockey party on Sunday then next week is spending with my DD while she recovers from her surgery on Monday...so hopefully I will get to it later next week.
My initial thought is to make it relaxed as possible - any technigue, with no minimum size (howz that for easy!) - so if I want to make a 24 in wall hanging from a panel I can, but if I want to hand applique a king size quilt with 100 chickens, I can do that to (although I never would!).
Long time frame too...Maybe once a month post our progress and then maybe have a viewer's choice vote in September with a prize for the "best" one?? Maybe each person make an extra block, send to me and the winner of the viewer's choice would get those blocks as a prize... Votes would come to me through pm....
just some thoughts!

Ok, I'm in....since we will have some time to do this, then I'll be able to find chicken fabric. I did see 2 pieces at Ben Franklin. One was pretty, the other one was pretty UGLY! lol
I'm also comtemplating on buying this kit. Connie started showing hers with the flowers and I was just perusing Felinedrive.com and came across this..... http://www.felinedrive.com/servlet/t...omplete/Detail
Hubby says I can buy it. I did ask him .... it's a bit pricey and since he said yes, then I do have the go ahead if I really want it. I usually don't ask, but with something that expensive.....well, you know. And like he was going to tell me no. lol

Steph, that does sound pretty relaxed and right up my alley. I've still got 2 IRR groups going, another project for a friend...thinking about Elle's flower block swap and a couple of quilts that I had planned for myself..so will you start a new thread when you get ready to start the challenge?
Terri...I'm glad you are throwing your hat in the "chicken" ring. I peeked at the watercolor cat quilt...hmmm...I've looked at that before myself. I think its a little above my skill set right now so I do hope you get it and have a blast with it! I know it will turn out beautifully!!

Patti, yup, I'll start a new thread when I get it worked out and ready to commit to it! Like you I have (only) 1 IRR quilt going plus the flower block exchange with Elle, my DH's quilt, a charity quilt for a maternity home silent auction and finish putting together my quilt frame...so relaxed is about all I can do at the moment!! :oops:

it is a great reason to bump, THANKS!!!
I head to Alabama today for Spring Break - the kids will play in the woods all week while I am a lizard soaking up the warmth of the sun and planning the golf league AND the chicken quilt challenge!
I will start a new thread in the next 5 days so be on the lookout!
Happy Easter everyone!
