Baby Zig: Finished!

Happy Valentines Day, my Friends!

Today Jake and I are celebrating simply with a nice dinner.  Our anniversary is in a couple of weeks, so we like to make that the big deal.

I am very happy that I was able to get Baby Zig all finished up last night!  I like it way, way better now that it is quilted and bound.  It measures about 41.5"x37".  I feel like it's a bit of an odd shape, but I like it.



The prints are all from Joel Dewberry's Notting Hill and the solid is Kona white.



I used the Poppy print in the red colorway for the back.



For the quilting, I followed the edges of the zig zags with the edge of my walking foot on on the inside and outside of the zigs.  I made a grid in the negative space out of washable marker that mimicked the zig zags and then I followed those lines with the edge of my walking foot.



In the pink zig I used pink thread, in the red one I used red, and for the green one I used green!  For all of the white I used a white thread.  The different color threads look fun on the back!



I bought the square petals for the binding and then I ended up having almost 42" of the hourglass print from the Lillian + Oliver quilt that I finished last week, so I decided to use it!  I gotta say, I think this is the closest I've ever come to running out of binding as I'm attaching it!  I think I had 3" left?



Now that I'm finished with it, I really like it!  I hit a point with this one when I considered scrapping the project.  I'm glad I didn't!  This little quilty does not have a home in mind... I'm thinking, the year is young, someone is bound to have a baby girl!



This impression was left in the snow when I picked up the quilt... I love it!

Also!  I'm in the process of writing up a little tutorial for this quilt.  It was super ease and I used charm squares to make it sew up even faster!  I'll have the tutorial up tomorrow!

Have a happy, happy Valentine's day!
