I recently completed a zig zag quilt. The tutorial (http://beesquarefabrics.blogspot.com...t-without.html) says to cut off the zig zag points to finish it but I don't want to do that. I want to keep the points. Do you think the best way to do that is to make a seam and (machine) applique each one to the trim fabric? I tried to put a piece of black backing on each point so that each one would be flapping (no official quilt terms here :mrgreen: ). But that didn't seem to work out. HELP! IDEAS Needed!! Thanks.

I made a zigzag quilt using the same tutorial and I cut my corners off, it looks fine. I get a lot of compliments on it. I used the parts I trimmed off to piece the backing.
If you want to keep your zigzags, you could piece in some setting triangles. Or, you could keep the top as is, layer and quilt it, then trim the backing and batting out from between the zigzags, and have fun making a zigzag binding!

So, just like you'd face a blouse or jacket, you can face your quilt :)

I also bought the Red Pepper Quilts pattern for a different zig zag quilt.
