I do like this quilt very, very much.  But as our dear Marj used to say it looks above my pay grade for it reeks of applique. I adore the humor behind this piece.

Howsomever is there a pattern I could purchase and study? 

Is this an original piece of art?

Dear Pirate, please tell me more.

yeah, there's another version that has a smaller "pop-out" inside the hollow cube.

I have been looking at that one as well...................I am musing maybe making a larger version of some of these or a few scattered in a one block wonder.

I meant some chicken fabric for your black, white, yellow chicken coop.  Nothing realistic, just humorous.

It was on a woman's blog, describing the quilts that she saw that caught her eye.  This one was an original (as you surmised) and executed by four different people as a pass-around.  Each person had the full picture and which quadrant they were to replicate.  Then, all four pieces were gathered in one place and stitched together into one top.  If you look closely, you might be able to see the seam line where the quadrants were.  There was no mention of who got to keep it.

ah, and here I was, taking you literally.  Well .. all I can say is .. one never knows!  :-)   

Ya know, I don't think I have chicken fabric in the proper scale.  I have eggs.  I have scraps of chicken wire.  MAYBE I might have some realistic chickens SOME PLACE.   Hmmm ... that could be another option .. have faces of people or animals looking out from the cube.  :-)

Absolutely it is machine pieced because there is no way I would ever ever hand piece anything!

I do have chicken , eggs, and chicken wire fabric.  If you are somewhat interested I'll post a photo to see if you would like any of it.  

Ah, thanks, Lynne.  But I'm gonna pass on it for now.

Faces of people and animals could be fun, too.

My problem is that the background music and noise is so loud, it drowns out the speaking parts.  Frustrating.
