Chubby Chicks Quilt Pattern

The Chubby Chicks Quilt Pattern by Black Mountain Needleworks combines simple patchwork with playful appliqué to create a 60in x 60in quilt full of character.
Each chick is made using 5in charm squares or scraps, with quick machine appliqué using fusible web.
The feet are machine embroidered and button eyes add dimensional detail.
The surrounding patchwork is straightforward, making the quilt approachable while still offering decorative interest.
The finished quilt features 6in blocks arranged in a clean layout that lets the appliqué designs take centre stage.
Finished size: 60in x 60in
This is a cheerful project suited to seasonal décor, children's quilts, or anyone who enjoys light-hearted appliqué.
