Zigzagging.

Echo quilting on the zigzags... fabric is Mary Engelbreit's Recipe for Friendship for Moda. Love.

The back and binding are one of the red prints...

A happy quilt in the grass.


And a happy me looking at it.

I wanted a zigzag quilt too.

Everyone else in blogland seems to have one.

And I was jealous.

Oh well, once you're old enough you don't have to stay jealous for long.

Happy Sunday sewing!

A set to keep!

A set for my little who to keep!

She was seriously soooo excited.

The oven mitt is the crown jewel in her mind.

Much more excited than with most things.

And I'm a happy mommy!

Tablerunner Project with Tutorial

Mary Englebreit Friends and Flowers for Moda fabrics have (finally) made there way across the sewing table, and I LOVE them! So vintage looking and cheerful! In the works from this fabric line so far: a baby blanket and tablerunner.

Pics of the oober deliciousness.

To make both: 1 jelly roll and the usual "sashing/backing/binding" fabric

Cut 5" segments (needed 72 for the runner, 144 for the baby blanket)

Sew together into long strips of 8 mixing the fabrics at random

Mix the strips until you like the arrangement offset for a layered brick look.

Cut 2 1/2" pieces off of every other row and stitch to the other side of the strip.

Sew strips together (9 total) and square runner with a rotary cutter.

Cut backing fabric to size, baste, quilt, and enjoy!

Approximate finished size: 18" x 36"

My baby quilt will be posted later this week! Happy quilting!
