zig zag

Two finished for December 2020 from Exuberant Color

The Marcia Derse baby quilt is finished. The blues are from lines dating back several years. The white and black are from her line the Opposites (there was a positive and negative of each print). It ended up 35" x 47".

The backing and binding fabric is another from her Opposites line. Binding is all by machine.

After I finished this one I did a load of laundry and went grocery shopping.

And then I tackled the binding on the big plaid zig zag quilt. It took over an hour even doing it all by machine.

I wanted to use ...

This ...

I think I said this quilt will be 72" x 90" so the seams are long. I finished sewing the 14 seams in one direction and sewed one in the other direction before I gave up last night. Of course I want to finish it this month so I have 10 more 90" seams to sew today.

My son stopped by yesterday and got my computer with the dead screen hooked up to my Smart TV with an HDMI cable. My computer screen appeared so now we know the computer is fine, just the screen is bad. I spent a ...

Quilt Challenge Day 9 from Fleur de Lis Quilts and Accessories

For day nine, I'm showing this quilt that I made for a granddaughter. Marley chose the colors and asked for "something zigzag." I think she must have seen another chevron quilt. I needed to play a little, so the compromise became two sizes of chevrons in three colors. They lost their home to mold several years ago and all of their quilts were lost, so this one is in a landfill somewhere. But that does not take away from the fact that it once existed as a silly quilt for a little girl who loved zigzags just because she ...
