Here’s my entry for Amy’s Blogger’s Quilt Festival.
I made this Springtime Chubby Chicks quilt for my folks earlier this year to celebrate them moving into a new house. The pattern is from Black Mountain Quilts, the green chick fabric is from Pat Sloan’s Nikki line and the chicks are assorted 1930’s scraps.
The chicks were done with a machine blanket stitch.
I did a small meander around each chick and 1/2 circles in the pin wheels. The borders have a larger meander stitch.
I used Quilter’s Dream Poly request weight for the batting. I love this batting as it is very thin and easier than others to manipulate through my machine and it washes up beautifully.
Head over to Amy’s to see the Blogger’s Quilt Festival.
Spoooooooky quilts! Check out this week’s quilt contest and vote for your favourite Halloween quilt.
oh…I did this same quilt in red’s… of course mine isn’t quilted yet….and now I have some ideas on how to do that..thanks..and yours is lovely…
We are fortunate to have quite a few quilts and table runners made for us by our talented daughter.
I have to admit, that Chubby Chicks is my favourite. We had it on the main table till Oct. (Now I have a fall one). It was wahsed many many times and still looks fantastic.
Thanks again Honey…LOL MOm

Love it! Those chicks are so cute and I love the bright colors you used. Darn Amy and her Blogger’s Quilt Festival…now I’ll never get to the bottom of my “someday” list! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome, I love it.
This is so bright and fresh. It makes me think of Springtime! Love your quilting!
I love the chicks and pinwheel together! Adorable!!!
How fun is this quilt- I love your cute little chicks and how densely you quilted around the chicks.
I also enjoyed seeing your quilt process from the start to the finished quilt. Your pictures really show the transition from blocks to quilted pieces.
Thanks for sharing.
Warmest regards,
