My first quilt.
This style stopped me dead in my tracks when I saw them. I knew I had to make one. Here's my version.

P.S. Emily helped a ton with this. I would never have even tried if she weren't around. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I used all her tools and picked her brain often. She even donated a few blues for the quilt. I'm so happy with the results that I'm brainstorming a second quilt. (Different pattern. Different fabrics). Still picking her brain because I'm in way over my head. I recently got rid of a ton of old bedding/blankets we had in our closet. Most of them donated to us over the years. Nice to have, but really, really ugly.
Aren't you glad I made you hand-sew the binding? It looks really, really nice!!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of hand-sew binding so much better than machine sew! It might take longer but its so worth it
Deleteit looks so amazing. i love the colors they are so soft and cozy. just beautiful

congratulations on making such a beautiful quilt! I was browsing zigzag quilts on Flickr and your really leapt out from the screen. You must be delighted with it!
ReplyDeletewe all want to thank you for the inspiration...Pam, sisters and friends http://quiltingsquareone.blogspot.com/2010/07/on-recent-trip-to-visit-my-sisters-in.html
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt, LOVE it!!! Tried to take the link to the other blog but was denied, do you have a tutorial anywhere??
ReplyDeletejust came across this post and the tutorial, did you use the same amounts of fabric as in the tutorial?? going to go buy fabric to make and I prefer the bigger size (the blog references a smaller finished quilt top of 45x61). also, did you quilt it yourself, just stitching along the white zig zag??? that'd def save money! CUTE quilt!
