Okay I took all your suggestions together and tried something new .... It's a little wonky cause it was just a quick put together, but what do you think? I added a polka dot wing and used black to outline the chicken instead of cream ....

Don't worry! if I don't go with the zebra for these ones, I have a cute pp chicken I plan to use the zebra for. I am thinking it might be easier to use the polka for the road chickens and then the zebra for my pp ones. I like it with the two tone, but I am not great at applique, so it's not coming out as clean as I would like for you guys ....

I would like to end up with a nice lap size quilt from this, so hopefully I can get a bunch of these done!! I can't wait to see pics of everyone else's blocks!! :)
