Big Zig and Secret Garden by Sandi Henderson

On the work table

If you haven't seen Secret Garden by Sandi Henderson in person you are missing out!  Wait, let me rephrase that.  If you haven't felt Secret Garden by Sandi Henderson you are missing out!!!  It's poplin and so soft and smooth and wonderful.  I started cutting into it as soon as it arrived.  I'm working with the solids first, but I also have a fat quarter set of Sunset Garden waiting for a turn on the cutting table, as well as this quilt that was inspired by the medallion print.

On the work table

The quilting is slow going.  The picture above shows what it looks like two hours in.

I was planning on showing you this quilt finished with a big ta-da, but when I saw the sale I decided to share it a little early in case you want to make your own.

This is Big Zig...

 

Color placement plays a huge roll in this simple, but bold layout.  Here's one for you to color.  : )  My half square triangles measure 9" each and the final quilt will measure 51"x68".  If you use smaller 6" blocks and the same layout, it would make a perfect baby/toddler sized quilt, 33"x44".

Fabricworm has Secret Garden on sale ... today only, 25% off!!!  Click on any of the prints to see the sale price.  For this quilt I bought the half yard set of Michael Miller Cotton Couture solids and I have some leftovers.

More pictures coming soon.  Later today if I can bribe DH to hold it up before work.

Big Zig
