Chicken scratch

Does anyone know where I can find patterns for Chicken scratch. A friend made my daughter a baby quilt and it had a star Chicken scratched on it.

Hmm, just thinking out loud here..if the gingham is prequilted and you chicken scratch over it won't that leave some threads looser and more likely to get caught by something in use? It's been a LONG time since I did it...but on flat gingham - aprons!

Tons of free patterns on the internet. I am in the middle of a chicken scratch quilt at the moment. I am just copying traditional quilt block patterns and I think it looks quite nice.
