I saw this amazing "
Super Zig" quilt pattern by the "
Happy Zombie" a few weeks ago and as I have always wanted to make a zig zag quilt, thought it would be the perfect one to use some of the DS Picnic and Fairgrounds fabrics with. So on Saturday afternoon, I cut into this lovely bundle of fabrics:
I decided to add in an extra column to the original pattern, so cut a few (3 or 4) 4.5 x 8.5 inch pieces from each fabric and arranged them into 6 columns.
The finished size is 200 x 205 cm (approx 82 x 84 inches). Just need to decide how to quilt it now................

I love this. I was all set to make a whirligig quilt with my Picnic and Fairgrounds but now that I've seen this... I'm not so sure. Great job! http://www.paperstarfish.prettyposies.com
ReplyDeletegorgeous!! love those rainbow zigs! you're a girl after my own heart...
ReplyDeleteI love this!! I saw a zig zag quilt that had echoed zig zag 1/4 inch spacing in the white only. It was very attractive. How ever you quilt it, it is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNice one. I'm doing a zig zag quilt in Chasing Cotton's Quilt class 101 and can't wait to see what Rebecca will suggest for the quilting. Like the previous poster, I'm thinking echo quilting too. You've got a beautiful quilt .
ReplyDeleteI love the effect of the quilt. Great job.
ReplyDeleteOh, I quite like that! Pretty!
ReplyDeleteFantastic!!! Love the pattern, love the fabrics, all of it :) You're making me want those DS Quilts yellows, which I don't currently have! Thanks for linking up to WIP Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteAh, yes. I've been admiring this on Flickr! Such a cool quilt!
ReplyDeleteI would never have thought to use these fabrics like this, but it looks amazing! I would also love to do a zigzag quilt one day :). How did you collect all of those DS prints, though? I thought some were Australia only (or are you in Australia?).
ReplyDeleteOh, so lovely! I've got a zig zag somewhere down my list of quilts to make, and I've seen them done with straight-line quiltling following the path of the zig zags... totally awesome. Can't wait to see your finish!
ReplyDeleteits BEAUTIFUL! i love zig zag quilts!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful zig zag quilt! You are making me wish I had gotten those DS prints...
ReplyDeletethis is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! I love how you put it together. Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeletebeautiful !! the quilt zig zag .. this in my next projects
ReplyDeleteSo fun! I have been wanting to try a zig zag quilt using this technique too :)
ReplyDeleteI love this! I'm so jealous that Australia seemed to get more of the yellow prints! I decided to decorate my dining room around this collection, but most of what I found in the US was red and blue.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt! :)
So beautiful and fresh - nice work !
ReplyDeleteHello! That is beautiful quilt and the colours are really wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOh I love it!!! Great fabrics!
