Almost Zig Zag

I FINALLY!!! Finished my almost zig zag lap quilt. I say almost zig zag because you kind of have to look carefully to actually see the pattern. I really just wanted a very simple mixture of a redish and greenish quilt, so I bought charm packs of Kaffe Fassett reds and greens. You might recall this was the quilt in my blog post “Patiently waiting”, well it waits no longer and is done! For the back I used a flowery red fabric I found in a store not so near to me.

Along with the simplicity I wanted it to be soft with lots of loft, so I did minimal quilting, just wavy lines along the seams, I used cream Aurifil thread on top and red on the bobbin, so it’s hardly visible at the back.

Jack as usual wanted to pose alongside the quilt 🙂 He knows he´s ever so handsome!

Oscar still wearing his winter coat, come for a quick look and dashed away, he´s very camera-shy.

Here´s a photo of the quilt on my work table to show the zig zag pattern.

And because I´m vain, I added my label, Hand made by The Monkey Thorn, 🙂 I had these made up and shipped from the Dutch Label Shop.

 

Thanks for stopping by, Have a wonderful day!
