"Ziggin and Zaggin!"

As I mentioned in the last post, I follow LOTS of quilting blogs.  Zig Zag quilts were everywhere.  I fell in love with them, but most are made using triangles.  And to be honest, triangles scare me a little (still do kinda, but I am getting over it, lol!)  So at that time, a triangle Zig Zag quilt would just have to wait.  Until I found this tutorial and this one also!   The light bulb flashed on, the god's sang "Ahhhhhh" from above and I knew a Zig Zag quilt was in my very near future. 

I am not sure how I came up with this color combination, but I love it!  So calm and so relaxing!  This quilt was a Christmas present for my mother-in-law. 

This is the quilt all laid out on our guest bed.  You can kinda see each square with half white and half color/print.

Another view of it laid out.  This bed is a queen, but when it was all sewn together, it was much smaller than a queen. 

The final product.  It just makes me smile!

The back.  I love what the pieced line adds to the back. 

The solid backing is a pale mint green color.

A close up of the back.  The pieced part is made of leftover pieces from the front.  I quilted about 1/2 in on each side of the zig zag.
