We returned from Christmas in Texas and I could hardly contain my excitement about going to JoAnn's Fabrics to pick up fabrics for my first project of 2011. I love to see what colors seem to call out to me and today it was pink and green. I bought several 1/4 yard cuts of fabrics and headed back home to decide what I should make with them.
The pinks seem to scream little girl, so I think I'll make a zig-zag baby quilt in pink and green with white sashing between the zigs (or the zags). I hand-wrote the instructions for a zig-zag quilt many, many moons ago. This was before I had planned to do this blog, so I am unable to give proper credit for this tutorial...but I am gonna write it all here. I've decided to only use only 7 of the printed fabrics, so 3 of them get to be saved for another day. :) Today, I cut two 3" wide, WOF strips from each fabric and 14 similar strips of the white fabric.
I'm going to use the solid pink for binding and the pink fabric that is second from the right as the backing. That's all for today on this project....will continue tomorrow.
