A while ago I bought these fabrics on sale at French Seam. I really like the tangerine fabric, and the light pink with tiny polka dots (also seen in this craft). Most of the fabrics are Jay McCarroll (awesome Season 1 Project Runway winner, one of my all-time faves), but it is mixed with a few others and some solids.
Anyways, this is a bit larger than most of my quilts, its perfect for a throw over a couch, but would also be good as an extra blanket kept at the foot of the bed- its final measurement it 60″ x 60″.
I am happy with how it turned out, and I like the quilting lines a lot. I did them on either side of each seam, and then down the middle of each zig zag. On the back it makes a nice herringbone-esque pattern. And I accidentally made the binding waaaay skinnier than normal, and skinnier than I calculated for, but it turned out ok. It’s about a half inch on either side.
I hope you like it too!
And it’s not perfect, but I’d say more than half of my points stayed pointy, and most-ish of my seams lined up, so I was excited! Still not great at cutting out squares. And, now that I look at the thumbnails, it kinda reminds me of Missoni, which I like. 
My favorite one yet!
I thought of Missoni right away too. Or, gigantic zigzag trim
Love it Nancy! I did a giant chevron quilt earlier in the year too I loved it. See you later this month.
Lovely! You did a very nice job.
How wide of strips did you use?
I used the half-square triangle method of making zig zags, and i believe i cut 6 1/2″ squares.
How much of each fabric did you need to make this?
well, i originally bought a yard of each and i had enough left after this quilt to make a baby quilt too. i’d say 2/3- 3/4 of a yard would be plenty.
