Zigzag Quilt

I finished up my zigzag quilt last week and was able to get it sent out to my friend for her wedding gift. It arrived at her house Saturday morning.

I quilted this by going about a half inch on both sides of my seam line and down the middle of each zigzag.  

I love the little pops of red that are in the one black print.  I only bought one black print for this quilt, the other 7 came from my stash.  Wohoo!  I love when I can use out of my stash.  

The back is super loud compared to the front, but I love it.  I put the Black strip in to add a little contrast to the back and it gives those precious inches that I needed to make it fit perfectly.  And I really like the contrast of the straight zigzag lines against the red floral of the backing.  

I put a special tag for my friends since this is their wedding present.  I had to put my little boater chick on there (Andrea will totally get it).

And since this is going to a boater friend, it had to have a picture with my boat.  I planned to lay the boat down and spread the quilt out on top of it, but apparently spiders like to hang out under it.  (Thankfully I have a cover over the opening!)

Finished quilt measured about 50" x 60".  Machine quilted with Warm and White batting.  Perfect for a good snuggle on the couch.

I hope they love the quilt!  Sorry I had to miss the wedding (travel + knee surgery = bad).
