This ZigZag quilt offers an opportunity to do some (slightly) custom quilting without needing any marking at all.
The design is free motion quilting, but the placement is dictated by the zigzag piecing lines. Loops and simple wavy lines elevate this scrappy quilt and add some serious charm.
So topics include:
- thread choice for this multi-color top
- exploring design choices which are possible because of the zig zag piecing
- using a plexi glass audition board
- and then, of course, the quilting, with some tips for consistency
