It is a very simple piecing and applique pattern, but turned out so cute! My friend Elle and I both made one of these together - it was so fun to pick out which yellows we would use for each bird. We bought a roll of various yellow prints and batiques and just had fun mixing and matching. Each chicky body and wing uses a different yellow fabric.
To assemble this quilt, just sew the corners onto larger white squares of fabric. Then applique your chickies, and complete with sashing and borders.
The other nice thing about this baby quilt is that it is unisex, so it makes a great gift for someone who is not finding out the sex of their baby until after it is born, or if you are like me and can't wait until you're 20 weeks along to start making baby quilts! That's right - this quilt is the first in line for Baby Lynch (aka Spud)!
Happy quilting!
Hooray for Spud's first of many quilts! Beautiful job - guess I need to get mine done now!
