When life gives you farm fabric, you make a chicken quilt!

Clucks chicken quilt

Several months ago, I picked all this fabric from Missouri Star Quilt Co., including the 10" stack of Country Life fabric by Jennifer Long of Riley Blake Designs. I knew it would make a fantastic Clucks quilt!

I get to share a finish this week that was actually finished almost a year ago!! This quilt was made to show off the Reflections fabric collection by Island Batik, and it appeared in their catalog to sell the fabric. But that meant that I had to make it in secret - starting over a year ago!

A Third and a First

The Exploding Heart quilt pattern launched in 2020, and four years later, there's now a MINI Exploding Heart quilt pattern! When I was looking for fabrics that would work well for the smaller version, I was immediately drawn to Tilda fabrics. They're from Norway, and more pricey than typical fabrics. This makes them special - and perfect for making a wall-hanging sized Exploding Heart quilt!
