I picked up a 2.5 inch strip set of Nicey Jane by Heather Bailey on an July field trip to our local quilt shop with a couple of the moms. Within a week the top was complete. A couple weeks later and the meander quilting and machine-sewn binding finished.
I was actually a little disappointed with this one. The colors just didn't sing to me like they did in the quilt shop. But, hey, it's a picnic quilt that will get stained and abused, and it's probably better it's not my favorite.
No triangle Zig Zag Pattern is from AmandaJean of Crazy Mom Quilts. It was very easy and quick using 14 sets of pre-cut strips and 2 yards of solid. Size is about 55" x 72".

Hi Rosa, thank you so much! The strips were each 2.5", and the blocks were 4.5" square unfinished.
Love your quilt - and rock pockets are a great idea for windy days.

It's adorable! I love the Nicey Jane fabrics, and they look so nice separated by the solid.
It is beautiful. Lovely colors for a picnic quilt.
very cute, congatulation,
Such a simple geometric pattern turned into a really pretty quilt. I like your color choices.
Hi! My name is Hannah, and I work as a project researcher for this post by the Minneapolis Modern Quilt Guild, and I can't stop staring at your patterns. It reminds me of Pop Art, except less alienating in that you don't have to stand a foot away from it at all times. The ability to create such original, eye-catching patterns within the constraints of quilting is mysterious and fascinating to me.
I'm wondering if you'd consider joining Kollabora and uploading pictures of some of your projects, as well as techniques if you felt like it. We're trying to increase people's appreciation for the artistic potential of quilting, and I think your designs would attract a lot of our users' attention. In any case, we'd be thrilled to have you on our site.
Take a look and let me know your thoughts, as well as questions if you have any. If you do join, tell me your username so I can check out your profile!
Thanks,

Hi Hannah, and thank you! I wasn't able to open your link, but appreciate your interest. I have put my quilting and blog on the back burner for the time being. Hope to get back to it soon.
