I finished three small quilts this week, and this is my favorite!
For my lecture on Modern Quilting, I wanted to show how nicely all the designers play together.
Lots of girls: Valori Wells, Pamela Mostek, Martha Negley, Pat Bravo and Amy Butler.
And some boys, too: Kaffe Fassett, Joel Dewberry and Philip Jacobs.
I'm really happy with the way the color progression worked out, and I think it would make an awesome Blooming Nine Patch, too. Although, HST Zig Zags are a lot easier to make than BNP.
I had a big piece of this orange solid for the back, but I was wishing it was a little paler. The soft stripe worked pretty well for the binding.
For the quilting, I first quilted in the ditch along the zig zag, then went back and quilted both sides of that line, riding along the edge of the walking foot. The best part of edge to edge quilting is not having to bury any thread tails!

It's beautiful! Love the color of the back!
I love those colors. What a fun quilt, how big is it?
A zig zag quilt is on my to do list. You are right, so many designers play very well together.
What a beautiful quilt!!
It's a beautiful quilt! I like zig zag quilts and have one in my wip pile.
Aww, I love the zigzag-i-ness! I totally need to try that myself. I love how colorful this quilt is!
So lovely! The color progression was my favorite part. I am thinking of doing a quilt with some sort of color progression, and this is great inspiration for me. Yours is so awesome, I love it!
So gorgeous! Great colors and I adore zig zags. Fantastic job.
This is just beautiful. Wow. I love it and it makes me want to make another zig zag quilt!

LOVE this quilt! A zig zag quilt is on my to-do list, but I really like how you incorporated multiple designers. Thanks for linking up to {Sew} Modern Monday!
Great colors for a very cheerful chevron quilt!
Beautiful fabrics in a great design. Your quilting complements the whole perfectly.
