Challenge Zig Zag Quilt ( without piecing triangles )

If you are here for my Fall into Fall giveaway, please scroll

down to the next post.  

Last spring our guild program coordinator gave all the members 

a 5" strip of ugly blue fabric for an upcoming challenge.  Notice 

it in the center, the southwest blue fabric with the elk and bear?

About 10 days ago I stitched up this 32" X 36" premie quilt for 

the challenge.  I wanted to try the Zig Zag pattern and thought 

this would be the perfect opportunity.   Notice the layout, no triangles.

I love it!  Hate triangles!

 I first saw this method on the Bee Square blog which featured

 Amandajean's tutorial.  

Notice I added another row of squares to the top and bottom of 

the quilt in this next photo.  It's that anal- retentive side that won't

allow me to cut off the points.   I hope someone can relate?

 (If you decide to make this quilt, you will notice that Amandajean 

instructs you to cut the points off the top and bottom of the quilt.)

This is a simple alteration with a more stunning look. 

(If you aren't sure what I'm referring to, bring up Amandajeans

tutorial and compare the photo's.) 

And here's the finished quilt.  No one will know I didn't 

cut all those triangles.  I'm so excited for another finish with

all the projects I have in progress.  This quilt will be donated

to a local hospital on behalf of our guild, after the challenge

of course.  

Thanks for stopping by and have a beautiful creative day!
