Scrappy Zig Zag Quilt

Last night while watching tv I finished sewing down the binding on the Scrappy Zig Zag quilt.  I love this quilt - it's so bright and fresh plus it all came out of my stash.  It measures 60-1/2" square.

 

Karen's cable design quilting looks wonderful too against the sharp points of the zig zags.

Most of last week's sewing time was spent putting Fresh together (it's 96-1/2" square).  I'm waiting for a piece of fabric to arrive then I can make the backing for this one.

and then Orange Swoon (it's 106-1/2" square) - it needs to be photographed on a king-size bed - it is a present for someone who has a king-size bed.

Orange Swoon backing has been made - I added in the test block and an extra block I'd made (I bought too many orange fabrics).

Next up will be Swell - another quilt that has been cut out for a few months.  There are some very pretty colours in these batiks.

Had a lovely Sunday - ChaCha, her Mum and Dad and Great Nan came for lunch.

So looking forward to Thursday - 3 friends and I are going to a class with Barb and Mary, the fun ladies behind Me and My Sister.  I think it will be a great day.

Using up the Stash

The pieces for a Scrappy Zig Zag quilt have been cut out for a while - still trying to make a dent in the stash.

I'll make the backing tonight then it can be quilted.  Found a binding already made in my drawer that will suit this quilt too.
