Design Wall Monday

Ever have one of those projects that keeps fighting you all the way?   First it was the marking and then it was the quilting.  I was so close to completing the quilting this weekend but just had to stop. There's always next weekend.  Here's how it looks from the floor :) 
The back of the quilt is what is showing. You can see the top of the quilt here

This was really hard to spend a long stretch of time on so I had to take breaks every couple of hours.  I need something SIMPLE to do.  I've seen a few zig zag quilts lately and was thinking I wanted to try one until I saw one quilted, and then I knew I had to try one.  I found a tutorial here They used 3 inch strips, I just a Jelly roll. Actually two jelly rolls.  You need two strips of the same color to go across if you want a strip to be all the same fabric.  I'm going to use this as a skill builder.  Look at how Addicted to Fabric quilted hers   She did something different in each zig zag (is that the right way to say it :)  So perfect for skill building.  I"ll be picking out the different designs that I want in each row (that sounds better doesn't it.  But really this was super easy to out together. 

But one that was done and the quilting still wasn't done, I need more easy :)  So started on Made in Cherry, I have the 10 row for the center of the star together.  Not sure what color I should use for the background.  I'm thing either the orange or the yellow, what do you think?

I also finished 2 more Swoon blocks last week, you can see those here  But no more Swoon blocks this weekend, I needed easy peasy.

Linking up with Judy at Patchwork times, always amazing things going on over there.  And linking with Quilting by the River, more than just quilting over there.
