You can use counted cross stitch designs for chicken scratch, they work up nice and will be bigger when done on gingham. My mother did so many aprons with chicken scratch and I did a few, the designs look like cross stitch but in one color.

You can find patterns and books for Chicken Scratch on Ebay, I would just make them up as blocks and then use the blocks to construct a quilt. You can also just do a border design on strips and use those as sashing or borders.
Here's some sites for free patterns:
