Scrap Zig Zag
This design is number 1334 in Barbara Brackman’s Encyclopedia
of Pieced Quilt Patterns. Barbara Brackman says it might be attributed to
Nancy Cabot but she doubts that. Hum, must be a mystery block. I’d like to see
this with lots of different blocks.
I think I would keep the fabrics the same as I did here but
then use all sorts of differently colored blocks. Click here for a printer ready version of these instructions.

Sew the half square triangles to the square, press the seam
to the square. Make sure you have the fabrics in the correct position. Next sew the half square triangle unit
to the rectangle. Lay out the
block again so you get everything in the correct order.
Sew the units into rows and then sew the rows together. Voila! You are done with this block. One thing I like about this block is there is little that much match. Just the center and it’s all the same color.
Poor Raggs. He'd love to come help in the studio finishing but we won't let him. Lonely little dog. Kona could care less!
The floor has been started! And, since I took this there's even more floor down. But there is a lot of floor still to lay.
Thanks for the block directions.
ReplyDeletePoor Raggs. He does look a little forlorn.
