progress: Charlie's Zig Zag

I finished the top for Charlie's quilt. I love how it turned out. The half-square triangles are a lot of cutting/pressing/trimming, but they sure are worth the effort. The top is approximately 40"x50."
I'm anxious to get it basted and start quilting it.
See my first zig zag quilt here.

*edited to add: This is the way I make my half-square-triangles. (thanks allison)


The fabric for the back is grey "snuggles" by Moda. It's like minky on crack. So soft!

Don't miss my current giveaway- open til Monday June 27th!

Very nice. I like the dots in it. I bet the backing really is soooo soft!

It's so fun to look at that and then do a double take at exactly how you get the zig zag. That is a lot of patience and tedious work! Wow.

Sara, the quilt top looks great! I really love the color combination. And with the "minky" on the back, I'm sure this will get lots of use and love!
