Zig Zag Quilts!
There are common techniques for creating zigzag quilts.
I have one more for you. DIFFERENT!
Grab a cup of coffee and stay with me for some time, because I will show you 8 projects made using the same technique, but in different ways, with different fabrics, for DIFFERENT results!

Easy technique in just a few steps.
Countless variations.
Quilt size: 44'' x 52''
Two strips of fabric...
a few steps, easy piecing, and voila - striped fabric turned into a continuous zig zag.
The technique allows you to sew blocks that will have THE EXACT SAME size, which translates into a quick and easy quilt top piecing.
All the math done for you!
Straightening the zig zag design requires setting and corner triangles, but do not worry - all the math is there for you to follow.
Suggestions for quilting are included- for all the projects.
Different fabric for a different look
The type of fabric you use influences the look of the design and the easiness of the technique- lots of examples are provided.

Change the orientation of the blocks, use different fabrics...
Make it scrappy!
The usual zigzag has rows of the same width.
How about different widths?
