This year I am entering my Zigzagged Quilt. If you are a regular follower you may have seen this before as it was my first and thus far only finish of the year.

Zigzagged Quilt

I made this quilt in only Blue and Green. There are a couple shades in there but it is only blue and green. Katie from Sew Katie Jean's (a local quilt shop) helped me picked the colors and I made it as a shop sample. She really like the pattern and knew how much I like zigzags so she asked me to make it. I put it off and put it off until she came up to me with a stack of lovely fat quarters saying what about these and I decided to go for it right then and there and had her cut me the yardage.

I decided to put a lot of effort into the quilting of this one. More than I ever had before.

Each size zigzag has its own type of quilting. It was a lot of fun to make. Even Suzie likes it. Actually see liked it a whole bunch.

The little stinker even put her head on it while I was binding. I think she thought it was hers.

Binding is done now I just have to move the pup so I can throw the quilt it to the wash.
