I have sewn a little on leather and a little on fake fur. I think all you need is a machine that is pretty heavy duty, some heavy thread and a heavy duty needle. I remember that you can pull the fur out of the seams after you get them sewed together, with an implement like a needle or something long and thin that is not sharp.

I think you will probably want large seam allowances like 1/2" to 5/8", at least. I was thinking squares, but you could probably do strips, too.

I hope this helps, it sounds like it would be really pretty- and welcome to the board from western Washington State!

I have seen a quilt done with duck bellies (the hides). They are VERY soft and warm. I think my Grandfather bought the quilt while in Greenland back during WWII. The pieces were hand pieced together. There was no real pattern, just pieced together. Very neat.

Hello and welcome from the Arkansas Ozarks.
Happy quilting.

I envision something simple and geometric. Squares and rectangles. I have never sewed on fur, however I have a resource for you. Francie is a teacher at Country Quilts and Bears in Clearwater, FL. She teaches classes on making bears out of every type of real and fake fur. I don't know if she has ever made any type of quilt, but she knows everything about sewing on fur. They have a website and you will be able to contact her through that. Can't wait to see your quilt!
