Chubby Chicks Quilt

I am working on the "Chubby Chicks" quilt from Black Mountain Quilts http://blackmountainquilts.com/patterns.php

I will show some progress.. but hey... I am a slow "chick"!!
I started with the pin wheels and I used 3" thangles (paper triangles)  to make them..
you can learn all about them http://www.thangles.com/howtheywork.html

First Make the triangles with thangles


Press open
Chain sew square to form the rows

You can "chain sew" 2 rows together
Now you are ready to iron





Here is my "best friend" the iron
I need a stack of 24 pinwheels

I am now working on the chubby chics blocks... but mastering the Invisible machine appliqué is a challenge!!! I will update tomorrow with more progress.

  1. Ya sabes me encanta esta manta y se que la haces para alguien especial. Espero puedas completarla con algún detalle bordado como un cojín o un "chick" bordado en un vestido. Algo se te ocurrirá
