Backyard Chicks Quilt | Riley Blake IG Takeover

Some of you may remember by Backyard Chicks mini quilt from early 2016. Well, over the years I got so many requests for a larger version that I finally decided to release a full size quilt pattern. What's more, it comes in three different size options: baby (40" x 50"), throw (60" x 80") and bed (80" x 100").

The design for this quilt was inspired by my own chickens, one of which you can see in the above picture (that's our alpha rooster, Randy, and yes, he is a busy boy worthy of his name). We have over 30 chickens, all mixed breeds, and a Pinterest-worthy coop built by my super talented husband. Looking at the feeding photo below I think you can see how this quilt came about - it's total feeding frenzy when it's kitchen scraps time!

I've decided to hold a quilt-along for this quilt - the details for which are coming next week. You can BUY THE PATTERN HERE - use the coupon code TAKEOVER to get 20% off for the next 48 hours! The fabric requirements for the three different quilt sizes are shown in the table below so if you wish to join the QAL you can get planning and sourcing your fabrics rightaway.

And here's my original mini version - the pattern of which is also available in my shop. Use coupon code TAKEOVER to get 20% off on that one also, and in fact ALL my patterns! Valid for 48 hours only.

There is a special reason for this 20% sale on all my patterns, and that is the fact that today I'll be taking over Riley Blake Designs' Instagram stories.
