I have just completed my "zig zag baby quilt".
The shower is tomorrow afternoon, so this afternoon I was making the binding and sewing it on along with the label, too.
It is now in the wash to give it that comfy, "want to cuddle with" look after a quilt has been washed and dried (100% cotton).
I had seen the idea of the zig zags on someones blog and I believe there is a pattern out there somewhere, but I just winged it. The random zig zags was the result of my friends' suggestions when I had it up on the design wall. I have plenty of other zig zag rows that I could make another quilt or two....which is a good thing since baby showers are always popping up.
Now, I guess it is time to get back to some of quilting projects that are calling my name....namely Beyond the Cherry Trees. I have one block that is very near completion, so that will probably be the first thing I do.
So, thanks for stopping by. Hope you are getting some stitching in this weekend. Enjoy...whatever you are doing.
Ohhh, I LOVE that quilt! It's darling. I hope you don't mind, but I have a feeling I will be borrowing that idea myself!
ReplyDeleteNice little quilt and I am so relieved for you that you got it done on time.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to do the zigzags so random. I'm sure it will be a treasured gift!
ReplyDeleteThe zigs and zags worked out beautifully. I like the look and feeling of a laundered quilt that gets the puckery feeling to it.
ReplyDeleteI love the zig zags, great for a bay quilt. That was a close one but you got it done in time, whew. I love your header!!
