Zig Zag Quilt: Quilting and Binding
Make your quilt sandwich (with the Zoo fabric on the back)
You'll be stitching in the ditch along the edges of the orange and blue zig zags and also in a zig zag pattern across the white strip section.
Mark the zig zag across the white strip with a hera marker or colored chalk and a ruler, mimicking the larger zig zags.
After it's quilted trim and square off the whole sandwich and bind with the Tangerine Kona Cotton. (If you need a refresher course on double fold binding check out my Wool Blanket tutorial.)

I love the quilt journal entries of this blog. They're the best.
Thanks so much for posting this and the directions. I am in LOVE with this zig zag pattern.
You can do your quilting "next to the ditch" in this case, or you can press your seams to the side if you're worried about weak seams. So far Molly's quilt seems to be holding up!
