Zig to the zag

By in Art!, making stuff is good

This took way less time and agony than usual. I don’t know if it’s because (most of) the fabrics I used were decent quality and all the same weight or if it was because I figured it out all on my own. I won’t go so far as to say I designed it, haha, that would be too strong a word, but I certainly didn’t use a pattern or directions to finish it.

The backing is a Japanese fabric I am addicted to, from Designer Fabric Outlet on Queen West here in Toronto. I also used it in yellow on Maggie’s doll quilt and have plans for a yard of green in the near future. I used the black ikea fabric to bind. I even did a proper hand embroidered label this time round.

I have to say, I am pretty pleased with it. And while it hasn’t got a destination yet, I am sure I’ll figure out a home for it sooner or later.

    Oh, and if anyone has any green fabrics, like fat quarters or whatever scrappy bits, preferably quilting types but not baby-specific prints, I’d welcome them with open arms.

    Thanks, Gillian. I’m not quite ready for etsy yet, I’ll leave that to you!

    Not to mention nice and snugly for such a crappy, cold MTL day were having here!

    Wow, that’s gorgeous! I love the colours. I have some cool scrappy bits (not green though) that you can have if you dont mind paying the postage. I hate to see them go to waste. I do alot of kid-type stuff, but some are pretty cool!
