There is a long story behind the loss and recovery of this tutorial. I won't share the whole tale here, but let's just say that I'm over the moon thrilled that this tutorial has been recovered and I'm excited to be able to share it with you (again) today. This was originally posted on the Bee Square Blog on March 23, 2009. Here's how to make a zig zag quilt without piecing triangles! First, select your fabrics. You will need: -9 quarter yards (not fat quarters) of coordinating print fabric -1 3/4 yards of solid fabric -1/2 yard fabric for binding -3 yards backing fabric -batting and thread Cut two strips 3" wide x WOF (width of fabric) from each of the prints. Cut 18 strips 3" wide x WOF from the background fabric. Sew each print strip to a solid strip with a 1/4" seam allowance. Press toward the gray. Cut into 5.5" squares-you will need 14 blocks for each row. Each strip will yield 7 blocks. Layout as shown (except use all 14 blocks-only 12 are shown). Repeat for the next set of fabrics. Continue building the rows until all 9 fabrics are arranged. Now it's time to assemble the quilt top. Since your quilt squares are set on point, you will be assembling your quilt top on the diagonal. Join the blocks to make strips, then join the strips together as shown. Now the quilt top should look like this. Use a rotary cutter, mat and ruler to cut off the zig zag points.... and your quilt top is finished! The quilt top should measure approximately 46" x 61". Baste, quilt, bind and wash. And you have a finished zig zag quilt!
