Couldn't have said it better catspaw! Ditto girls!

Adorable chickens leakus and toomanycats!

I am appliquing using lite fusing and straight stitching...

Leakus...yup, I'm still giggling! That one is a winner! You are making more than 1 set so more of us can get one...right???? :wink:[/quote]

Funny!!!!
But yes, I was thinking that I cannot put together a quilt with just 6 blocks!!

So, how does it work? should I design another one or do 12 of the same?

Andrea----very, very cute. OMG Mariposa, how are you going to decide who gets what? I want them all!

Welcome Ms Grace. I did all my applique with fusible web and stitched around the outside (some straight stitched, some zigzag , some other)

Leakus,
I did 4 different sets of 6 blocks each..But I'm sure anyway you do them will be great.. I know a lot of us would love to have your sunburned bird!

Leakus, it is your choice. I know there are lots of us that would love your baked chicken! So you can make 12 of it, or do sets of 6 of something else. But we are excited to see what you do! :)

Leakus I made seven sets of different chicken blocks, from smaller to a 12 1/2" x 15 1/2" size. I want a lot of variety in my chicken quilt, so I made a lot of variety, so hopefully I'll get a lot of variety back...just remember, if you want one of your own, you have to make one to keep as all six will be swapped per our leader, Mariposa!

I made "Kung Pow" Chicken.. I used my Japanese kanji fabric.. I just ironed them onto the fusible web and didn't stitch them to the background yet.

Then I did 6 of "dots mi chicken" :) Let me upload them.

I have a few more to do. Found 3 2.5x2.5 scraps with little chickens on them, and also have some egg fabric that I'll do little 3.5x3.5 inch blocks with for fillers. :)

ok, I got it! To sew I go!

Mariposa:
We have till March but isn't there a limit of swappers? (or 6-block exchanges)?
Per instructions we can sign up once the blocks are completed. Right?

It's official.........I can now join the swap.........I have my first block totally done..........and the second block just needs to be squared up and eyes added to be officially done......third set is all set to be machine sewn...........I'm getting there............my 4th set won't take me long............and if I do more........I know it was requested to make more of one of the blocks.........I'm having sew much fun..........
