Bjay's zigzag journey

[Bjay]

Fabric in short supply - just the stuff I have used already to keep the pattern going


Half made now - 2 x 1/4's


I think I will quilt each quarter and then sew together,=. it will make it easier on the machine

It’s looking lovely.

Is the red car on bottom left (as you’re looking at it) upside down?

[Bjay]

Thank you

Oh, well, yes, shhhh!

[Pearl]

Well spotted, @fajita .  Isn’t it funny how it is so much easier to see these things on a photo?

Your quilt looks great, @Bjay .

Thats the road from @rubywishes  house!

I have now completed 3 of the 4 quarters.
I now need to consider how I am going to make quilt top wide enough. Do I add wider borders or an extra row of blocks. :thinking:
Also as I am QAYG the backing fabric needs to be chosen but there is, a, quilt show coming up, I may leave the decision till then.

@Bjay  Quilts generally look better if the borders are the same all the way around so if it needs making bigger in one direction and not the other I would add another row of blocks,

I think that whole section  is upside down.  The black stripe is in the wrong place?  Whispering this, eversoquietly

@Missie That was all unpicked and corrected just after @fajita made the comment.
Thanks for saying though

@Bjay , I made that quilt pattern many years ago when I dipped a toe in the P&Q pond, and although I loved it, it boggled my mind.

Yours looks lovely

@b15erk  it is certainly boggling my mind. I have a plan and cross off each row but, strange I know,  it can set off vertigo. Getting better now though.

I didn't notice the cars on the pattern as I was just in awe at how much it reminded me of liquorice allsorts 
That plan worked didn't it @Bjay   

[Bjay]

@Bumblebuncher I hope so.
I'll have to be careful with borders to keep same effect

Thank you

[Bjay]

I quite liked the look of a Chevron border seen on internetso today I have been experimenting.
ThaNKS to the wonderful @Iminei  pointing me in the right direction

The Flying Geese patch sis not my favourite go-to of choice but I  do like the effect

I don't have a lot of fabric but I think I can stretch it by making chevrons as in pic 2.





Sorry pics are a bit big
