I actually intended to quilt the white part in white and the coloured parts in appropriate colours, but once I&#8217;d started with the white I realized that if I left the coloured zig-zag rows alone and only quilted the white parts, then it would make the colours stand out a lot more. I love how it&#8217;s turned out!<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t a very big quilt &#8211; only 50&#8243; x 63&#8243; &#8211; so way smaller than what I normally make. I guess it would just about do for a single bed, or would make a nice lap quilt. The pattern is my own and just involved 15 billion half square triangles. The fabric is <em>Happy Mochi Yum Yum<\/em>. I just quilted in the ditch around the zig zags and then did a couple of straight-line zig zags in the centre of the white rows. All the little puffy up parts that I wasn&#8217;t happy with when I finished sewing it together all just miraculously disappeared!! The quilting was easy peasy really, but straight lines take much more concentration than stippling and I have the tense shoulders to prove it! I&#8217;m dead good at quilting in the ditch now though!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/25.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4223 aligncenter\" title=\"2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/25.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/25.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/25-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now just the binding to do and that will be another one to cross off the list.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a really happy quilt isn&#8217;t it!<\/p>\n<p>Helen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In between a whole lot of other things over the last couple of days I&#8217;ve been steadily quilting my zig-zag quilt.
