For well over a year I've had this tutorial in my favourites. I decided to make a large cot-size version. Instead of cutting 3" strips, I cut 1-1/2" strips. I needed 1-1/2 widths of two fabric per row of zig-zags (if that makes sense). I used some of the leftover Beatrix Potter fabrics plus a few other yellows and blues from the stash along with white Moda Bella Solid. It was very windy outside this morning when I was taking the photos.
The border is the wider section of Beatrix Potter's "3 Kittens" border print.
The outer corner blocks pattern is from the birthday miniature quilt pattern I received from our on-line stitching group - such tiny pieces.
The zig-zags were stitched in the ditch and I machine sewed a row of running stitch on every second white row:
The backing is lovely soft pale blue/white polka dot flannel I bought on our road trip last Saturday.
Weekend again - 6 sleeps and we're going on a little holiday so I think I'll spend some time this weekend tracing a few stitcheries to take along.
