A Dozen Chickens

You're probably thinking, "Twelve chicken words. So what? What's the big deal?"

Well, 12 x 7 = 84.  There are 81 letters in this ENTIRE quilt:

And I haven't even started to make ROAST, CASSEROLE, DUMPLINGS, SALAD, NOODLES, SANDWICHES, POT PIE, A LA KING, SOUP and TETRAZZINI.  How many letters is all of that?
Let's count... 5, 9, 10, 5, 8, 10, 6, 7, 4, 10. That's another 82 letters, and I'll need three plus signs. AND I'll need the original quote from Brenda, "Let the chicken go." That's 15 more.

So... 84 + 82 + 15 + 3 = 184.

Eek! That really is TOO MUCH CHICKEN!!!
