Jo's Show and Tell zig zag quilts

 Last time we were on Zoom Jo zoomed in from a class she was giving using a relatively easy zigzag block. Here are some of the results...

This is Jo's version - 9-patch mixed colours with a final border to echo the sashing.


Another version with a pale grey instead of black.


This version has oriented the blocks to create 'bats' flying.


This one uses 16-patch coloured blocks to start with.


Here the 9-patch blocks are colour co-ordinated and arranged in rainbow strips.


This lady forgot to bring the 9-patches so decided to run with another idea.

It is great to see all the variations of a theme and it will be fun to try it in our group one day.

Show and Tell from Jeanette

 This month's show and tell from Jeanette (Dongara WA) is great. 

First there is Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australia with polar animals to commemorate her trips to the polar regions of our earth.


Then there is her Hexie Quilt with hexie scraps and over 1700 hexies!




I remember sitting in your lounge room years ago cutting your scraps for leaders and enders. Now you are using scraps in amazing ways. Hooray!
