While the day was stunning, quilt photo conditions weren't exactly ideal :)
Even with lots of wind,
and dappled shade,
we had fun anyway!
This baby quilt is modeled after many wonky, improv zig zag quilts I've seen around the nets, and measures up at about 42x56 inches.
When the recipient requested something with the same feeling as my Patty Pan quilt for a new baby girl, I knew I wanted to create something that would show off these lovely prints (and be completed in a reasonable timeframe).
I started with a rough plan and 8.5" squares of some of my favorite leftover fabrics. (Mostly by Anna Maria Horner, no surprise). Adding a strip of white at an angle and trimming back to size created each zig/(zag?) unit.
A wonky zig zag has been on my "must-make" list for quite a while, and I'm so glad I got to it!
Quite lovely. Like your bold fabric and color choices! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeletelove this so much. Yay for AMH fabric and wonky cutting!

ReplyDeleteVery Very P R E T T Y!!! the colours and the wonkiness of it all.. I also love the simplicity of your quilting. It seems to emphasize the wonkiness more.

ReplyDeleteI don't have an exact tutorial for this quilt, but I can tell you that I used the technique shown here: http://teaginnydesigns.blogspot.com/2011/07/wonky-zigzag-pillow-tutorial.html, switching sizes, as well as placement of the solid/print fabrics. Good luck!
