Sherry’s Chicken Salad quilt

Oct 30

Check out this adorable chicken quilt!! Lori Holt always creates the cutest patterns.

Sherry made this Chicken Salad quilt by Lori Holt with her fabrics as well.

I used Natural White thread from Superior Threads on the entire quilt, and 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

I custom quilted the entire quilt. As you can see in all of the chicken blocks, I quilted my Overlapping Circles freemotion design in the background and a variety of feathers that fill the spaces in the chickens. Overlapping Circles is just one of ten different designs that I teach in my Quilting It Freemotion course. There are so many fun designs to choose from or I’ve bundled them and given you a little savings. Either way, if you’re wanting to get started or expand your freemotion quilting abilities, this course is for you!!

I quilted a 1” cross hatch in all of the rectangular blocks, with an x then an orange peel in each of the squares. I used my 4” Circle2 ruler for the orange peel petals. Which I think creates such a fun texture overall.

My Circle2 ruler sets are available in my shop. They come in clear or green high quality 1/4” acrylic and are made in America. Here is the 4”/10” clear ruler. There are six rulers in a set, and the rulers range in size from 2” to 13”.
