This duck and chick set of patterns are roughly six inches so they are suitable for applique and baby quilt blocks. For applique work you could leave the edges raw, glue the pieces down to the base fabric and then couch over a few strands of embroidery thread or perle cotton or even crochet cotton.
A few pheasants – two in flight and the other with A LOT of detail for a bird. I’d probably edit the feathers and a number of rows of stitches about the neck but your mileage may vary.
