i almost feel like this post is unnecessary, since this quilt looks almost exactly like another quilt i made several years ago--i rarely make such similar quilts, but i had left over blocks from the first quilt, and i really liked that quilt and wanted to use those blocks, so i made another...i like this one just as much.
this quilt is for a friend's (who i don't see as often as i'd like) brand new baby here in denver. i hope he likes it.
i used a blue pindot on the back. i love blue. i also love zigzag quilts, and i have never made one to keep. i'm thinking maybe one for a bed. zigzags would look great on a bed...
I love zig zag quilts too! The colors are awesome on this quilt... I'm sure it will be well loved.

Delicious. I adore zig zag quilts and I especially like the fabrics you chose for yours. Mmmmmm....
ReplyDeleteit's absolutely beautiful! I want to start a baby quilt and I had in mind to use 9 patch disappearing blocks but every time I see a zig zag quilt... I think I'll have to change my mind!
ReplyDeleteNettie, it's a gorgeous color combination! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI am sure that the recipient of the quilt will adore it! What a beautiful quilt! I love the zigzag pattern and all of those cute Heather Ross fabrics! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat is a perfectly beautiful quilt. Thank you for sharing it, even if it is similar to another one. So what! This one is worth a showing, too.
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt and the colors are gorgeous....such a lucky baby to receive such a nice gift. I say, make as many as you like. Thanks for sharing.

This post is so timely, I've just posted about a quilt I'm making inspired by the fabrics and colours of your first zigzag quilt! I'll have to update the link to show your new one, it's equally beautiful! Here's my post: http://bellgirl.com.au/2010/09/circling-fish.html
ReplyDeleteI love the zig zag design and the colours .... so lovely!
ReplyDelete...thought you said "turtle" quilt at first and spent a while looking for the turtles!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely make yourself one!
You don't happen to have a tutorial for this zig zag quilt do you?
ReplyDeleteI love it...the zigzags, the orange and blue...the fabrics!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Me too, I do love anything with Half Square Triangles, and the Zig Zag layout.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
As usual, I love your fabric/color choices.
ReplyDeletefunny! This post just reminded me of my plans to make a queen size zig-zag using very similar fabrics, and then i read your post - great minds at work i think! ;o)
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful quilt and your friend's baby is very lucky. I've never made a zigzig quilt so I like the closeup pictures to give me an idea of what to do.
ReplyDeletei love it! and the fabric choices. yes, zig zags would look so cool on a bed.
ReplyDeleteis this the same quilt as you have the tutorial on? how big is it? i really want to make my own zig zag quilt, just need to get the fabric!!
ReplyDeletethanks for the inspiration
Wow, that's beautiful!!! And well worth showing again, even if it was exactly like the one before!!
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE it!! I love the colors and I don't think I ever saw the first one so I'm glad you showed it! It's adorable!
ReplyDeleteYour first quilt inspired me, and now this one has reminded me to cut into my orange and aqua fabrics (like I had planned). Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love it! The fabric combo is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAs always---inspiring!

ReplyDeleteI really love the colors in this quilt....such a great combination! Plus, I do think that I will make one of these zig-zag quilts next. A close friend of the family is having a baby in Nov., so I want to maybe make them a quilt....just waiting to hear if they find out the gender :-)
