I've been a crazy sewing fool. I decided that Chocolate Bunny absolutely needed a friend. I'm happy to introduce his friend, Spring Chicken. She is also a 10" paper pieced block so they can be used together in a wall hanging, quilt, etc. Mine will be a set of spring time pillows. I think I am craving spring because we had a snow day today (no school) and another foot of snow!
I used the same floral for the background that I used for the Chocolate Bunny but in a different colorway. It's BasicGrey Kissing Booth Sweet Nothings in Cotton Candy. The small floral is so perfect for hiding the many seams.
The chick is made from the yellow BasicGrey Grunge from the PB&J line. The feet and beak are BasicGrey Grunge in orange...I think I used this one. I added a button eye and a little embroidery stitch on the beak.
Aren't they cute together?
Spring Chicken is available in my Craftsy shop and my Etsy shop. I hope you have as much fun making them as I did! I think Spring Chicken is a touch easier than Chocolate Bunny (in case you are debating which to try first). Both use a generous fat quarter of the background fabric.
It's so cute Amy! Perfect fabric choices.
ReplyDeleteAww, such a cute wee grungey chicky
ReplyDeleteLove the grungy fluffy peep! I missed choco bunny, but they are so fabulous together!
ReplyDeleteGreat job
ReplyDeleteOMG! That chick is sooooooo cute! Love it! I just finished one of my own projects. Felt really good. Been working on it in between customer quilts. Think it is my best quilting yet!
ReplyDeleteSo adorable! The grunge is just perfect for the chick. Gives him so much fuzzy, fluffy texture. Genius!
ReplyDeleteGrunges are perfect for such blocks! And the chick looks so round and cute :)
ReplyDeleteToo cute! I love your chicken:) I agree with Joanna: grunges are perfect for such blocks.
ReplyDeleteOh wow you are just so clever and that fabrics are perfect - well done.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet ~ I just love little chicks. The fabric you used is perfect!
ReplyDeleteoh, wow!!!!! these are both so adorable.
ReplyDeleteYour two springtime stars are quite wonderful...it's amazing how some abstraction of the shapes of familiar animals can be so effective. What a Bunny, what a Chick!
ReplyDeleteWhat talent you have! xo
Your chick is too cute for words Amy! Another testament to your paper piecing abilities.
ReplyDeleteThey are such cute patterns! Great job!
ReplyDeleteIn love with your wee chick! So adorable and vulnerable looking!
