We are expecting a new little girl in the family this fall, so I was very excited to make her a quilt! I wanted to try zig zags with white and I had pinned some choices on pinterest. My niece chose one very similar to this one. More chevron than zig zag and I love the mixture of different fabrics in each row. I was so happy to find everything I needed at my local QS, Nancy's Calicos! I pulled the colors from many different lines of fabric, Nancy's Calico recently added a modern quilt section, and all of the fabrics came from that section. The link on pinterest didn't offer any information about the quilt, who designed it or where to get the pattern. So I figured it out the best I could, I think I made my blocks (accidentally) 1/2" smaller than the quilt on pinterest, but it still turned out a nice size. I also made 14 burp cloths from the same fabric using dimensions that my niece sent me. She had wanted me to use towels as the
backing, but I couldn't find any in the right color or that didn't pull easily. I used very soft and fluffy fabrics from JoAnnes. My long arm finally returned repaired after 9 1/2 weeks, so I was a bit rusty quilting, especially the straight lines. All in all, I like the designs of the quilting and overall, I LOVE the quilt! Happy Quilting!!

This quilt is absolutely the cutest. Loving the different fabrics in the zig-zags. The binding detail is so cool!
