In the knick of time.....

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.

  4. The zigs and zags worked out beautifully. I like the look and feeling of a laundered quilt that gets the puckery feeling to it.
