FUNKY Chicken Block Swap - Mail Date April 1, 2010
#131
okay, put me down for a tall skinny one with long legs (this is in no way a reflection of its creator), 6"x15"
as for the hockey puck . . . I'm thinking a puck on edge for the body, with wings, a helmet on the head and black skates on the feet. Perhaps a pair of crossed hockey sticks on the front of the puck/belly. 9"x9" ought to do it. I'll give it a try but I may be way out of my "league" here when considering the details involved. If it doesn't work, I'll do something else in the same block dimensions.
So if we end up with, say, 18 participants, if I make 3 sets of 6, does that mean I'd end up with one back from everyone?

OK I think I found my pattern. I have a book that has nothing but roosters and chickens....and my block is going to be 12.5 x 18.5 unfinished. I think I will make 6 of them..if they turn out good...I will make 12. It is hard picking funky fabric and hoping they all turn out well. We will see. I will post a pic after I get the first one done.

Brook...I think that the tall chicken on Marcia's quilt was actually one of the chickens off of the fatcat site with long legs added, but I'm not totally sure. It just looks like that to me.
sewcornie...those blocks sound really cute! And yes, if you make the same number as the number of participants..you will get back 1 of each person's block (unless I get all mixed up in the sorting
:roll: )
Charismah...got cha' down for the BIG block!

It's a Zebraken ... or Chickbra...depends on how you look at it. :lol:

It's like your Zebraken.

I just have to laugh makes me think of a card game my daughter got for Christmas called-tastes like chicken. On the cards are different animals combined together so it is like a croco-chicken or a chickodile lol

I am probably going to get into this SWAP. I am going to wait a few weeks to sign up to be sure I will have the time. I have alot of funky chicken embroidery patterns. I love to do machine embroidery along with my quilting. I am real excited about joining this but lately my grown kids have a habit of messing up my plans and stealing my play time. Been thinking about putting a lock on the inside of my sewing room and a sign on the door saying "I am SEW BUSY"!!(give only hubby a key incase I don't come out for more than 2 days). I plan to get started on this and if it looks as though I am going to make it will go ahead and sign up? Is that okay? I will probably do 6 x 6 blocks. I think the little egg block idea is sooooooo cute!! Hope I get an egg block!! Reading this thread has been fun....
