Pigs in a Blanket with Hen and Chicks
These little piggies didn’t go to the market. They stayed home in bed!
There is a series of different ideas for the Pigs in a Blanket. This one is with Hen and Chicks.
Although I was highly tempted to go with solids for this quilt, I used prints for everything except the white sheet behind the pillows and for the grey background on the quilt.
The backing is Novella Finnelopy in Aqua by Valori Wells for Free Spirit. I found this in the bottom drawer of my stash. It was the perfect size and it feels good to use it up. Plus it’s a great match to the binding and it looks so cute!
The quilting was performed using a plain white thread on top and in the bobbin. The binding is Alison Glass Sun Print Link Yonder from Clinton Modern Fabrics.

Love the layout, and what a super backing. Then the binding finishes it off perfectly.
Absolutely adorable. x
This has gone straight to my to-do list!! Love it. Thank you. xx
Very cute, I love the little chickens. Another great design Lorna,
So cute! A great baby quilt!
So very cute, Lorna! Love the smaller size it comes in!
I like this very much The piggies are so sweet peeking over, and the chicks and mama are very nice. Great pattern
I had the silly thought that it would make a great wedding quilt, in queen size.
You're doing such a wonderful job documenting which fabric & it's name and by which designer. I'm lucky to remember the pattern & it's designers name and sometimes I have to check that several times.Love your piggies 🙂
This a fun series to watch grow!! I adore your backing too! I especially love when you can find the perfect, big, bold print that can stand on it's own for a backing!! It is like a \”stealth\” spotlight for a favorite fabric, to me anyway! xo!
This is my favourite Pigs in a Blanket so far! I have to say, my eye was roaming around the quilt looking for a chick that would have it's head down looking for feed. This may be my pick for what to make for the next baby in the family, although we're not expecting any in the near future…that I know of 🙂
I just love it!!
Super adorable. Love how they are resting their heads on such cute pillows.
So stinking cute! HAHAHA! Get it?! Yah, sometimes I wonder about me, too. 🙂 Adorable quilt Lorna!
This is so cute!!!!
OhLorna….you absolutely cracked me up with this one! LOVE IT!
Another great one, Lorna! I love how the piggies have their little arms (legs?) outside of the blanket. So cute!
So cute. I may have to make one and call it Bacon and Eggs…lol
Soooo cute! Your quilts are always so happy and lively 🙂
Get out of town….those pigs and chickens. That is the cutest thing!!!
