Okay so Amy over at Park City Girl is having a Fall Quilt Festival, so I thought I would join in with my round 2 quilt from the awesome Old Red Barn Co. Quilt Along, we all decided to keep the fun going after round one and start round two with a zigzag quilt.
I starting with several fabrics that I had laying around and order a couple online.
I decided to make it a little bigger than a baby quilt size for one of my best friends who is expecting her second little girl in 6 weeks. YAY! So now that the shower is over and she loves it, I can post it here.
I am really loving the zigzag quilt style, it is so fresh and modern with white stripes in between the patterned ones. I am going to have to make more of this style.
And since I wanted to do a simple back, I decided on mostly white with a small strip to anchor my handstitched trees. I love the look of this. I will be doing this alot more on Quilts.
I do believe that Round three of the Quilt Along is just wrapping up (wonky log cabin style) I wasn’t able to join in, but I definitely have been visting frequently as there are loads of beautiful quilts being made. I am pretty sure Round four is looking to start soon too, so check it out and join the fun. I may be able to hop back in this round.
So check out the Fall Quilt Festival, it’s amazing! Last I checked there where 400+ quilts linked to the Festival and growing everyday. it’s a great way to connect with people and new blogger/crafters. I love this community!
What a beautiful quilt – I have recently made a Zig Zag Quilt and I just love them.

I'm liking the zig-zag quilts I've been seeing. I think I'll try making a smaller one. Love your idea of hand embroidering on the back.
gorgeous quilt!!

love the trees!
So pretty! I love the color scheme and fabric you used. Zig zag quilts are my favorite kind :)
Love the colors, I have been meaning to do a zig zag quilt for a while, but I'm honestly stuck on colors (and time), yours has inspired me though.
I love the trees!
Your quilt is beautiful. I love the back!
I, too, am loving the zig zag quilt pattern. I don't think I've seen one before. I really like the creative back you made for this quilt. The quilt I'm showing has a back made with several different wools pieced together and then on strip of the squares like I used for the front. I didn't show a photo of the back of the quilt. Should have done that. :-) ~ Sarah

So cute! I love the zigzags. The fabric colors are great too. I really like the quilting on the back, what a great idea!
How fun ! And I love the bigger size for the baby to grow with !
I think that I, too, have a zigzag quilt in my future…….maybe my immediate future…….excuse me, I gotta go dig through my stash !
I love how the white sets off the coloured fabrics in this quilt.

Beautiful quilt. Love the zig zag and the trees quilted in. Thanks for sharing.
This is lovely. The hand stiched trees on the back are brilliant.
