{a las, the infamous zig zag quilt. stripes of blue, green and white.}
If you are new to quilting, this is the quilt for you. If you have a one year old who likes to toss quilt squares around while you are doing quilting yoga (aka: laying out many, many squares), you might want to lay this out during sleeping hours.
Did I tell you how much I love fabricdepot.com? This quilt did not require a single trip to the fabric store. I even used batting from a garage sale! Thanks to Bend the Rules, I never prewash my
quilting fabric. This leads me to my favorite part of making a quilt. I love to pull the quilt out of the dryer, finding all of the cute puckering magic from the fabric shrinking that gives it that vintage feel. Sigh.
I can't believe that I neglected to give Amanda credit for this beautiful pattern, even if it did take me 3 months to make it a reality! (beautiful and easy....a winning combination!)

Sarah - you never cease to amaze me. I just love to quilt. This is a keeper for sure. Now you just need to make 5 more for the other kids! j/k Hey send the pattern to me. This looks like a fun project for me too. bkblood@nvinet.net Keep up the great work.
This is absolutely STUNNING. I totally love it. Totally. It means that I'm adding another quilt to my "want to make someday" list. curse you!

Oh, I love that quilt Sarah! I got the directions and ordered my material, can't wait to start it. Wished you were here to help me with the quilting. I'm practicing on a baby quilt I'm makiing for Whitney's baby. Oh, I'll be coming in a week, right? Bless you in getting ready for your company! Getting that house cleaner??Love you sweetie
Just beautiful!
Sarah,
Love the quilt. I am just finishing up one for Cali - she picked out the pattern and fabric and it's turning out great. Where did you get your pattern and fabric for the zig zag one - love it! Need to add it to my list of To Makes! ALso wondering - are you doing your own quilting on your machine or having it done by someone with a longarm? It looks great!
Sarah, can I use one of the pictures of your gorgeous quilt on my blog (with a link to yours, of course)?
absolutely, Paige. Don't quite know how else to reach you as I am Vegas-ing right now.
