I really like zig zag quilts!!! I have made one from my hand dye scraps, so when I saw this on the Moda web site I wanted to try it. It is made differently however. The first one was made with triangles---this one is made from two jelly rows and a charm pack. The "Crazy Mom Quilts" blog owner, Amanda Nyberg is the creator of this method, which although simpler, can be confusing. You really have to pay attention---I have had to unsew a couple of rows. The pattern results in either a horizontal pattern quilt or a vertical one. I am making the vertical one since the size is larger. This will be one of the Christmas gifts for our youngest son---very "organic" like----less is more type thing. Doesn't it look very graphic and modern?!? I think I will do a really tight water mark stipple in grey. I am enjoying this one, but you definitely need a design wall for this pattern!
