Little Penguin Quilts Through the Year

Little Penguin Quilts Through the Year

Weekend Plans

I've been a good girl this week and stuck with my plan to get Rainbow Zigzags quilted.   Lots of scraps were used in the construction of this quilt!

I quilted along all the peaks and valleys - the low volume rows were done with an off-white Gutermann thread and I used a Sulky rainbow variegated thread for the rainbow rows. 

The pink row was one of the last to be completed, so of course I have to feature it for the RSC January color of the month!


Friday afternoon I trimmed the quilt and made the binding using leftovers from the backing.   It's a pretty light blue wide backing from Connecting Threads called Cobblestones.  Today's job (Saturday) will be to get the machine sewing of the binding completed.

Woo hoo!  Almost a finish!

Stitching the final step of the binding by hand will be my Sunday job. 

This Little Penguin is pretty happy to be finishing up a quilt!

I have always loved your zigzags and thought to add them to my RSC list but have 3 already - maybe next year?

I don't usually like 'zigzag'/chevron quilts but I REALLY like yours. Now I'm tempted to do one myself :) (scrappy, of course). Great job!

This has been one of my favorites of your quilts last year. I'm glad to see it's almost done. Enjoy your Sunday slow stitching the binding, if you can wait that long.

Rainbow Zigzags is beautiful. I love all that happy colour and pattern zigzagging across the quilt. Such a good idea to use variegated thread on the the coloured parts.
