Zig Zaq Quilt
It’s finally done! It measures about 49.5″x39.5″. I quilted it using a diamond pattern and used Quilters 80/20 Cotton. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out, but look what happened in the wash!
Ack!
Looks like there was some running dye, which I don’t understand because I ALWAYS pre-wash my fabrics! :uhh: Oh well. Maybe I’ll go back and try to attack it with stain fighter or something.
Ignore my feet and curlers sticking out at the bottom.
And here’s the back of the quilt. I had some of this cloud flannel lying around, so I thought I’d use it here. I just love this print and it was hard to part with it, but I think the clouds and rainbow concept works really well. And I did end up doing a scrappy binding on the quilt, I think it looks really cute.
Happy Friday everyone! Enjoy your weekend!
I’m so in love with zig-zags these days, great job! I”ve had the odd bit of fabric bleed into others. Do you have dye catcher? I bought some at my local quilt shop, but I know some grocery stores sell it.
No I don’t have it, I’m going to have to start using those!
What type of batting did you use? I once had that happen, and it was a cotton seed in the batting. Ever since, I have been more aware of the cotton seeds, picking out the big ones from the batting befor I baste…
I use an 80/20 Cotton blend. I’ve never noticed any cotton seeds in it but I’ll keep an eye out.
Pretty and a bummer about the running.
I always always always rely on my shout color catcher. I buy them at the grocery store.
Love the back!
Thank you! Guess I’ve learned my lesson the hard way! :orly:
