Zig Zaggy Top - Finished<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I have been on a finishing jag since my post about projects on my mind<\/a>. I want things out of the half finished stage. I want to feel ok about starting new projects, not that that is really a problem.<\/p>\n

I am not finished with anything completely<\/em> yet, but I am in the process. Three quilts are at the quilter and in the past few days I have finished two more, which will be dropped off at the quilter on the 25th.<\/p>\n

Zig Zaggy Back - Finished<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I took the FOTY 2011 off of my portable design wall after finishing the back and, instead of taking the portable design wall down as planned, I put the Zig Zaggy quilt up. I have to say that I really, really like having 2 design walls. I only had two sides of the back to finish to make the back big enough to quilt the quilt. Since I was in finishing mode, I just sewed some extra pieces on to the back. Now I will make the binding and be done with it.<\/p>\n

I like the front, and the back started out as a good idea, but I stopped working on it because sewing all of those leftover strips was a big pain. I am not doing that again. I am sure I can find a use for strips. I had a much better time finishing the FOTY 2010 back. I used large pieces and it was a lot easier. That is my new mantra for backs: big pieces of fabric.<\/p>\n

Here is a the detail of the top. The top came out smaller than I thought. When I was working on it, it seemed huge. Now it seems tiny. Compared to the FOTY 2010, it is small. I guess it is all about perspective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
