\"Jelly<\/a>
Jelly Roll for Zig Zaggy Quilt <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This past weekend I mostly worked on the Blue Janus Quilt<\/a>, which I called the Blue Quilt in a previous post<\/a>. Those squares required a lot of chain piecing and I needed something to piece in between so that I wouldn’t have to cut threads each time I wanted to press as I moved farther along in the process.<\/p>\n

I decided to start the Zig Zaggy quilt and use the pieces to help with my chain piecing.<\/p>\n

First, I looked at the Happy Zombie site<\/a> again and confirmed the sizes. then I cut some samples. Happy Zombie used a special ruler and cut 5″ long wedges. Elizabeth Hartman from Oh Fransson! blog<\/a> originally used templates and cut the wedges longer. I decided to use Happy Zombie’s method and trim later.<\/p>\n

I cut and sewed a few together, think I would do another colorwash look.<\/p>\n
