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.
ReplyDeleteI agree - the Zebra quilt looks interesting. I also agree that simple and mindless is just what you need sometimes - ;))
ReplyDeleteI am curious about this "Zebra quilt." Do you have an image of what the design looks like when it is completed?
ReplyDeleteI am with you on cutting triangles....not for me usually. But I love the other one. Mindless sewing is always useful!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Gene. I am curious as to what the "Zebra Quilt" looks like and would love to see an image of it.
ReplyDeleteYou are a better woman than I am - I admire Lynne's Zebra quilts but have no desire to make one of my own.
ReplyDelete:o))
ReplyDeleteGlad 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.
