Chickadee Blog Hop

I'm super excited to be part of the Chickadee Blog Hop.  This fabric line designed by Heide Pridemore of The Whimsical Workshop for Island Batik is so amazing.  I love all the bright, bold colors! 




For the blog hop, I remade my popular Stacked Deck quilt using the precut 10" squares from the Chickadee collection and paired them with a neutral for maximum contrast.  


I love how the colors pop against the drab winter grass.  Of course, Ruby, my Corgi had to get in on the action too and help with the photoshoot.   It was so cold, as you can tell by the frosted grass, on the day I took photos that I was ready to wrap up in the quilt!  



Here's the original version of Stacked Deck, also made with Island Batik fabrics, and I'm not sure which one I like better.  Patterns for Stacked Deck are available using this link.  You will need just 1 package of precut 10" squares and 3-1/2 yards of coordinating yardage for the background.  I can't wait to see the version you make. 




Be sure to check out all the amazing projects that the blog hop designers have made!  Talk about eye candy :)  Below are direct links to each post.
