Zig Zag Block

This is the 15th quilt block tutorial in a series on how to make quilt blocks using the FrankenQuilt Method formerly the Quilt as You Piece Method. This quilt block can be completely made in the Quilt as you Piece method. The block in the photo has a border added to it because, when I finished it, it was not big enough. How I added the border is in these instructions.

Random Quick Tip!

Seedling Starter
If you use paper dixie cups, the 3 oz size, you can make seed starters with them. Just push one of those tiny filters for resuable K cups in one of the cups, fill it with potting mix, place your seed in the center, cover with more soil. When the seed sprouts, pop the filter with the dirt out of the cut and place into your hole in the ground or next size up pot. This will prevent from having to disturb the roots. You can also recycle used store bought k cups this way. Just remove the insides from the k-cup and wash before using.
