The Big Zigzag quilt is complete !! I did more quilting on this project than any other I can remember. I used a variegated purple thread that ran from the palest orchid to the darkest purple and I’m very pleased with the outcome.

And another completion !! The second pair of throw pillow covers in what I call Aztec/Pueblo fabric. These look very nice on our living room sofa.

I bought a jelly roll (a full length of fabric [about 42”] by 2.5”) that I fell in love with (purple again 😁 ) and I’ll be using the fabric to make the “Boxes of Colour” baby quilt. The first picture below is the inspiration quilt and the second is a glimpse of some of the fabrics in the jelly roll and the background fabric I’ll be using.

I was browsing through my ever-growing “Is this my next quilt?” bookmarks and landed on Moda’s free Boxes of Colour. (Moda is one of the top fabric manufacturers. Most fabric manufacturers have free quilt patterns which showcase their fabric.) Fortunately the entire quilt pattern was on this page since the designer has abandoned her site. I really like the sort-of “broken boxes” and isn’t the quilting pattern cool !!
