I recently finished another quilt top! As I mentioned in an earlier post, this will be for my nephew. He will be 3 in September and he is really into cars. Like my son, he really loves Disney Cars. But I really loved this fabric collection, Wheels by My Mind's Eye for Riley Blake. The colors are so cheerful and I have no other words for these little cars besides 'super cute'! :) I decided on a simple zigzag design using pieced rectangles (yes, I'm still scared of triangles). This isn't the best picture as it was a little cloudy outside and I took the pic at an angle. :/ I think I will call this quilt "Zig Zag Roads". It will be my 12th quilt of the year! Woo hoo! :)
Here's a closer view... I'll probably use a few leftover blocks for the back, along with the brown multi-colored polka dot fabric as the main backing.
I liked the easy zig zag design so much that I decided to start another one. This will be a baby sized quilt using my leftover jelly roll strips of Moda's Love U collection. I haven't finished the top yet, but will post on it soon! I'm hoping to start quilting my nephew's quilt very soon! :)

Coming over from SITS, and bowled over by your beautiful quilts!
I quilted back in the day, but I've never finished a quilt - I totally lose steam once the top is finished. Which reminds me I have a top in progress somewhere...
