First, some patchwork!
I started this quilt earlier in the year!
I have long admired the strong graphic nature of zig zag quilts.
So I decided to make one, using this 'short-cut' version. It is made from carefully placed rectangles,
rather than the usual triangle method!
I wanted something bold and vibrant, so I gradually added to my stash.
Orange and turquoise!
The colors looked a little washed out here. Maybe I should try taking some shots outside, if only we could manage a sunny day!
Anyway this has been languishing in the 'must finish' pile.
And now it is - QUILTED!
I am very pleased to say I have done all the machine quilting myself, using the KISS method!
Just need to get it bound!
It will be going to a new home soon as a wedding present for some work friends!
And now some play!
Maybe this is where my love for ZigZag quilts comes from!

A striking quilt and I thoroughly approve of the KISS method - it is usually my choice when I am quilting. Happy stitching!
I am intrigued what is the KISS method of quilting? The quilt looks great.
That's the 2nd zigzag quilt I've seen today. Must be a sign that I have to make one.
I love the blue wavy print, looks like water flowing down. Nice quilt:)
