Ok I didn't want to put off till tomorrow what I can do today so I went ahead and tried it and it worked I think so here is the picture of it made up
It came out a bit dark but it really is just a navy blue calico in the picture. Now I have not made one of these yet but was hoping to do a swap. they look easy and I would love to see what everyone comes up with.

It is from a book called Quilting among friends 55 friendship blocks for.... by Jill Reber
I was only thinking of us doing the hen block which is really easy> It is basically some squares and one or two triangles and then you add the head and comb and scarf and heart wing. The beak is a square folded and sewn in when you put the head on so it is kind of 3-D.
What do you think Carrie? I don't want to step on any toes and you certainly started this so I would just pass out the instructions and we would still send everything to you. I do not want to be the hostess. So, I want to make sure it is ok with Carrie and everyone else.

I just read that the finished block is only 10 and a half inches though so that might make our decision for us. Let me know..Bev

Alright sounds like we are leaning towards farm animals. Okay I am going to change that and add names. Shall we say 12-15 blocks and I will change the size to 10 1\2 so Beverley can use her block so we will all have a chicken now the rest of us will have to come up with a block. I don't hand applique but you could use coloring pages and machine applique Search up animal quilt blocks I am sure there is a wealth of them on internet. I will try to get some links together tomorrow after my errands. Use up those scraps. This will be fun and after we will do a spring block swap.

I could always add a border to mine to make them 12 inches so you don't have to change the size for me. I can adjust mine...
