Ziggity Zaggity Baby Quilt
I started another baby quilt. I love when new babies are born because it gives me a chance to make another baby quilt. One of my nieces, I have several, had a baby in July. I plan to gift a baby quilt at Christmas. I’m using a pattern from a 2008 baby Quilts magazine by Fons & Porter. The pattern is Ziggity Zaggity by Sharon Smith. I previously made this quilt.
This quilt pattern is fairly simple to make. It consists of 60 degree parallelograms stitched into strips. Half the parallelograms are reversed to make the zigzag design when stitched into side-by-side rows. I went searching for a cute kid’s design in a jellyroll pack and found Animal Crackers by Moda.
I used my new Quilter’s Select mat and rulers to cut the strips into the 60-degree parallelograms. These rulers are wonderful, gripping the fabric so it doesn’t move. If the ruler slides, the fabric slides along with the ruler. I’m loving using this new ruler and mat set.
The nice thing about cutting the shapes for this pattern is getting one parallelogram and one reversed parallelogram when cutting the folded strip. With all the parallelograms cut, I am ready to begin stitching the rows together.
This pattern is a scrappy quilt. I love scrappy quilts. I purchased 3-yards of the green on white print with all the animals (top fabric in the jellyroll pack) to use for the backing. I plan to use the leftover 2-1/2 inch strips from the jellyroll pack to piece the binding strips. Progress reports to follow.
Happy Stitching…
