Here’s the inspiration quilt for Zig Zag in Purple. The pattern is from the book Go Big Go Bold by Barbara Cain; I’m making the lap size quilt which finishes at 45” x 60”. I was quite taken with several patterns and decided to do the Zig Zag in shades of purple.

Here’s the layout of the quilt; we have very tall windows, so you’re seeing the sun shining in slits (my photography needs some work 😜 )

I began the quilting yesterday (May 14, 2022) and will be at for several days. I’m using a variegated thread that begins in a very pale pink through dark purple. I’m pleased with the look of it. Here’s the quilting in progress:

I want to make throw pillow covers for our sofa; the throw pillows haven’t changed for a looooong time. You know I love the Maypole pattern so in consultation with my design expert (aka “the hubs”) we decided on something like this inspiration cover

Here’s the central fabric (I call it Aztec/Pueblo) with fat quarters of the coordinating fabrics. The throw pillow covers come together quickly since they’re easy-peasy.
