I love, LOVE this quilt. First, I love zig-zags. They are so fun and easy to make when your making them the non-half triangle way. Second, the quilting on this quilt, makes the quilt. Third, I love using white fabric in quilts. It makes them so clean and modern.
My original plan was to have 4 shades of pink. (I even have the 4th pink cut out.) However, I miss-calculated my fabric requirements and got 1/3 less than I needed. So if I would have put the 4th color in the quilt would have been oddly long.
The quilting on this quilt is my favorite! Once I got the hang of it it went smoothly and was very satisfying. I used the soft, fuzzy Minky on the back. I was very nervous to quilt the Minky after reading other posts about how difficult it can be because of how much stretch it has. So, I pin and spray basted it for extra security. And it went smoothly. So smooth that there was never any mumbling under my breath (unlink the Minky quilt I am currently quilting for my little boy).
