Bjay's zigzag journey

[Bjay]

I now think I have corrected all the zigzig's and the zagzag's and have the center of the quilt made. it is deconstructed to make quilting it easier. It is in quarters and a border is to go round probably 2 narrow ones in black with a chevron in the middle.

The wonders of Internet means I have found a chart giving sizes of fabric to make Flying Geese bigger or smaller for the Chevron



Rubbish photo it is much brighter than it appears

Absolutely Grand! Love your use of colours!

Love love love your design so much, it's looking fab! The colours are just my cup of tea as well

[realale]

That is looking so good. That's my type of quilt and I love the colours. Looking forward to seeing the finished article.

Looks gorgeous.

That is looking wonderful! It is going to be lovely, good work!!!

[Bjay]

So I have unpicked one quarter of the quilt. I didn't notice until i came to add the border. I think spomeone else said  the pattern makes you go a bit boggle eyed

I f you look at the picture and follow the main green line you will see a mistake slap bang in middle of the quilt. There are others BUt that one is very noticable. It couldn't stay.

No more unpicking I have promised myself

Oh dear, @Bjay , that’s a lot of unpicking. I think only you thought it was ‘very’ noticeable: the pattern is so bold that my eye only saw the colours between the black zigzags, not any pattern in the colours. I suppose , though, you’ll feel better having sorted it. It’s lovely.

[Cazlyn]

I hadn’t noticed until you pointed it out, it could of course be a design feature

[Bjay]

Hiya
I have completed and linked together the chevrons they now make a a border to be attached.

Hoping  the Chevron strips are long enough



4 long borders and 4 short as i am making it in qurters to make quiltong easier (i hope)

I love the colours, it really makes it pop, can't wait to see the finished quilt.

[realale]

Those look good enough to be a quilt on their own like that!! Love the colours. 

[Bjay]

This is very slow progress.
Today I have attached the chevron borders. I have done all quarters but here is a sample half




Next is another  black border to make it wide enough

@Diane I don't know about the colours popping it certainly makes my eyes pop after a while

Not wanting to hijack the thread but .... 100 shades
