Zig Zag

I have the opportunity to work with 
four wonderful ladies at Church. 
We spend a lot of time together and 
they do so much for me to make my work load lighter. 
So what better way to say Thank you 
and Merry Christmas??
A Quilt. 

With my love of vintage sheets
 I thought this would be a great way to show them off. 

I chose to do lap quilt size.  
It's 50" x 72".
Each one is a little different as to how 
much sheet was on top and bottom. 

There are 30" of chevrons and then you 
can break up the other 42" any way you want. 

I've written up some instructions for you.  
They assume you know how to 
rotary cut and piece. 
The instructions are also written so you 
can just buy yardage that will work instead of sheets. 

Zig Zag Pattern Here 

Merry Christmas to you and yours!!
