Tuesday, Jun 18, 2024 - 5:00 pm to 8:30 pm Make these chickens as traditional or wild and as you desire based on your fabric choices. The pattern is adaptable for three sizes and fat quarter friendly. The sew and flip technique is used throughout the pattern to create the angles and can seem intimidating. I'll share tips and tricks for working with the small pieces and how to use the Creative Grids Folded Corner Clipper as a helpful tool. The ruler is optional and the quilt can be completed without it, but it is one of my favorites to improve accuracy for sew and flip angles.
