ZiG zAg!!!

Alright so I finally decided it was WAY overdue for me to make a quilt for, non other than

MYSELF!!!

I searched around for a cute/fun pattern and came across this one

At one point I considered doing it out of Denim

(oh my freak! can you say CUTE?)

...

But since I'm a SuCkEr for MINKY

(dang it, I HATE sewing with Minky)

I thought Minky would give it a nice dimensional look and I figured I was up for a good challenge...

This quilt was SO time consuming

It was like sewing the front of the quilt TWICE

The way the pattern works is you

... 

cut long strips of fabric

sew the strips together

cut the strips into squares

sew the squares into strips

sew the strips of squares together

So....

this quilt is Cotton Fabric and Minky Fabric Zig Zag on the front

with a super soft Corduroy on the back

(all fabric purchased at JoAnns)

All in all this quilt took me a total of about 10 hours to complete

(sewing professionals please ignore this time frame)

And because I hadn't spent that much time on it
(please insert hysterical laughter)
I decided to try for the VERY first time a SCRAPPY BINDING

SO CUTE and SO WORTH IT!!!!

I do have to say though...

this is my FaVoRiTe QUILT!

not to mention, I have to fight my hubby and my son for it!

(we ALL love this quilt)

LOVE it

....now if only I could get the quilt for our bed done...-sigh-...someday I suppose
