Finally, I tackled cutting the rest of the triangles for the Zebra quilt. I was asked to proof the directions for it and made a couple then. I am not the best at moving rulers multiple times for one cut and not getting some slippage. This was a bit hard for me to cut which is why it sat for months. Today, while the grandkids were doing remote school, I girded up and cut them, very slowly to finish cutting all the strip sets. There are four stacks for me to start and put up on the design wall. I have a feeling there are not enough color combos, although enough cut pieces, to make a top.
The Joyful Quilter posted a pattern called Magic Stars and it fascinated me as I have a basket of 10" squares I had cut. I pulled out the basket and made a few to see how it looked. After thinking about it on the design wall, I paired enough squares to make a comfort quilt. When I need something mindless, I will cut all the pairs. Very simple, no seams matching, just what you need sometimes.

I like all those polka dot fabrics. The Zebra parts look interesting.
I agree - the Zebra quilt looks interesting. I also agree that simple and mindless is just what you need sometimes - ;))
I am curious about this "Zebra quilt." Do you have an image of what the design looks like when it is completed?
I am with you on cutting triangles....not for me usually. But I love the other one. Mindless sewing is always useful!
I agree with Gene. I am curious as to what the "Zebra Quilt" looks like and would love to see an image of it.
You are a better woman than I am - I admire Lynne's Zebra quilts but have no desire to make one of my own.
:o))
Glad you are enjoying those Magic Stars, Linda. When you finish those, you might want to try my tutorial for the charm-square-friendly Mini Magic Stars!
I'm looking forward to your progress with the Zebra quilt, I think I shall be sticking with something simpler for the moment.
