I started the Zip It quilt in Janauary, 2026, during the blue month of the RSC (Rainbow Scrap Challenge.) I finally finished it this week. It measures 79" x 81". That's a great size for ME and my living room chair.
My mission was just to make a blue/white cream quilt. I thought this pattern was too simple for me. I just LOVE it. It's going to be mine on my living room chair. Zip It is a sew along with Emma Jean Jansen on facebook here.

ReplyDeleteZip it turned out beautifully!! Good job.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I love your Zip-it quilt. I made scrappy blocks and I am not in love with it. It needs a few more before it can become a quilt. Yours is just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a lovely new quilt to cozy up with in your chair, Kathy!
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE it too. It looks great on the bed. Congrats on finishing it so quickly. ;^)
