Our annual Penn Oaks Quilt Guild Getaway is coming up soon. Last year I started this zig zag quilt and have not touched it since then. I am still going to do a zig zag, just not this one.
I decided to make a pillow. I had a 20" pillow form. My block was not big enough so I added fabric to all 4 sides.
After I added the strips to the sides, I layered it with batting and some scrap fabric. It is quilted with a meandering stitch. Of course because it doesn't matter the back came out just as perfect as the front!
I love this fabric and decided it would be a pretty back. The envelope method is used which makes it quick.
Here it is finished before I washed it.
After being washed.....as I said it is raining, hard to get a good picture. It shrunk up a bit and fits perfectly.
This was my project for my curves camp this week. It became a ( little weird looking ) mug rug. None of the projects were something I wanted to make but I wanted to try and draft my own curve. After a couple attempts I decided I will never be drafting my own, not my cup of tea....

Your zig zag pillow turned out cute. Why is that when the back side of a quilting project doesn't matter, it turns out perfect. Go figure. You had rain , not snow?
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat way to use those zig zag blocks. I love your pillow....and I love your scrappy trip blocks in the previous post.
ReplyDeleteLove all the different fabrics in your pillow! Nice that it shrunk to fit perfectly!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to use up a block! The pillow looks great!
ReplyDeleteThe zig zag quilt pillow is so cute. Perfect for those days when there is no sun.
ReplyDeleteI would never draft curves either...I couldn't.
pillow turned out pretty,remember the ONE BLOCK that was not my thing, AHHHH the getaway , Have fun, say Hi to everyone
ReplyDeleteI love the scrappy zigzag pillow. You always make them so nice. I need to try that sometime. A small project for the house, that is. My family room can surely use some colors at times.
ReplyDeleteHave lots of fun! I love the pillow and the mug rug is really cute.
ReplyDeleteYou must have so many beautiful pillows, you make such wonderful ones! It's such a great idea to finish off a project that you know you wont make into a quilt. Your mug rug is fun! It looks like a leaf.
ReplyDeleteYour pillow looks great and I like it after it shrunk a little - makes the quilting show so much better. The new header is nice also!
ReplyDeleteVery nice pillow! So glad it shrunk up and fit the form so nicely. I can't use your method because I always pre-wash my fabrics. Hence, my reason for buying a slightly-larger-than-the-pillow pillow form. Doin' good on your classes and with challenging yourself.
ReplyDeleteYour pillow is great. I have that Eiffel tower fabric, it was a great choice.
ReplyDeleteNice curve project. You'll be an expert on all things curvy!
I just love your zig zag pillow! I'm actually in the planning stages of a zig zag baby quilt for my next grand daughter, due soon!
