Can’t see the zigs through the zags

How many quilt blocks can you come up with that create a zig zag? At least 3, right?

Let’s look a t a few!

Block 1 – HST

The hardworking Half Square Triangle block. Great for working with a ombre or stripy fabric, or going scrappy !

Block 2 – Flying Geese

The elegant Flying Geese block. There are great ways to create more than one block at a time. Plus you have the option to go scrappy and play with the values of color.

Block 3 – Rail fence, on point

And this fun square block on point, composed of two rectangles. This pattern works really well with busy fabrics because the direction of the fabrics gets lost in the layout. If you want a more dynamic look, go for a directional fabric with this block, the lines will move up and down with the pattern.
