Project QUILTING, Ziggin & A Zaggin: A Closer Look, Part 1

March 27, 2012 by persimondreams Leave a Comment

So many great quilts were created for the Zig Zag Challenge – I can wait to share with you their closer looks!  I will be doing four a day for the next five days so be sure to check back later to see what others have made!Project QUILTING - Season 3, Challenge 6:  Ziggin & a Zaggin - A Closer Look, Part 2 1. Close up Lost & Found, 2. Zee End, 3. Project Quilting Challenge "ZigZag", 4. ZigZag Star – detail Created with fd’s Flickr Toys

Lost & Found

Lost & FoundHere is my piece for the Zig Zag challenge. It is 20"x25" and made in DeKalb, IL. I challenged myself to use 3 fabrics that had the same print on them. It was originally a black flower on white fabric and I had over dyed with some color graduations awhile ago. I wanted to create a pattern in which the zig zag could not easily be seen – ‘Lost’ – and then use thread stitching to define the zig zag again ‘Found’. I think it is a bit too busy for me but my teens both gave it 2 thumbs up so probably will hang it in the house where they can see it frequently! Also uploaded a close-up and the back side which I think shows the pattern well. This is fused and stitched by machine with a fused binding. Although it’s not my favorite I enjoyed making it and am pleased with the results meeting my objectives.

Zee End

Zee EndZig Zag challenge: Wholecloth, 13- by 18-inch, random stenciling with textile paint on hand-dyed fabric, fused binding; crafted in Bismarck, ND. I knew instantly that this is how I wanted to execute the final challenge. We began with architecture (A) and are ending with zigzag (Z), so the letter Z became my focal point.
I like making stencils and screens, but on a whim I recently ordered a couple of stencils, including a little zigzaggy one — perfect for creating a background. The Z was protected by freezer paper during the stenciling, then outlined with straight stitching.
The quilting has bursts of random-sized zigzags.
This is the first time I’ve done fused binding; I want to try a mitered look next time.

"Berries & Cream"
Project Quilting Challenge

45" x 60" Made with love, in Milton WV, USA I will admit I am not the most creative person in the world. BUT, I have never made a zigzag quilt before so I tried to keep it simple. The thing that should impress everyone is that I made this in just a matter of hours. I started Tuesday evening and finished Wednesday afternoon. I picked out scraps from my stash paired with neutral scraps (white/beige/creams) For each "zigzag" i used colors from the same family. In the neutral areas I stipple quilted. After I finished with the stippling I LOVED how the colored areas looked all puffy. So I just did an outline about 1/4" from the edges of the colored zigzags to keep the "puffiness." For the back I used super soft Minky Fleece. Batting-100% polyester(high-loft), but everything else is 100% cotton. Bound with Kona pure white.

ZigZag Star

ZigZag StarProject Quilting #3-6: Zig Zag challenge Loved this challenge! I sew 3-D stars and this challenge was made for "Stardom"! I made 10 "blades" and sewed 5 with a zig and 5 with a zag using selvedge strips and a sewing themed fabric on the backs. I use Peltex for the batting giving the construction the body it needs for shape. The outside 2 blades have velcro to close the star shut. The other blades are then paired up and sewn thru their centers and attached to 2 brass rings. I hand sew every other blade to each other at their sides and the star is ready to hang. It measures 18" across and is about 4" wide.
