Zip It Finish

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.


I backed it with big chunks of blues and the leftover Zip It pieces.
