I pick out my prints first then solids.. I can't find a photo of the first zig-zag I did but here is a link to it on my blog: http://yolanda.typepad.com/my_weblog...pleted-quilts/

I used red prints with cherries and an aqua kona cotton as my neutral

Yolanda that one is adorable. The pattern reminds me of the crocheted one I did many years ago for my then baby, who is now 41. Thanks for the tip and the view :P

My son's father-in-law has a brain tumnor (we just found out a couple of weeks ago) and will be having it removed soon. I made this quick version of the quilt using 3" strips in rows of 14 blocks. It's about 48/56. I am going to quilt it myself because it's small enough and machine bind it. Then I am making one for a co-workers wife who is going through chemo. These little lap quilts are quick to piece and I think the end result is very striking. :-)

PS... they look so much nicer once quited.

Yolanda Thank You for sharing with us. That was so kind of you. I never would have guessed these quilts would be doable without seeing the tutorial. These would be fabulous quilts for all ages. Hmmmm I need to get to work! Thanks again.
