Zig and zag and dumbing down

It's finally off the design wall and ready for quilting. I used crazymom's zigzag tutorial and it was so easy. I'm trying to decide on borders. I would love for it to be a little larger but don't want to ruin the zigzag look.

I've read all the blog posts about "dumbing down quilting" and I suppose this is one the quilts that drives those gals nuts. Do I care what they think??? NOT ONE BIT! Will I ever make the Civil War Sampler again.....probably not. Will I make a zigzag quilt again? I've already picked the fabrics for the next one.

I don't really understand the need to be ugly,if you don't like a blog move along.

Hope y'all have a happy quilty weekend :_)

Anna, peacefully piecing

yeah don't listen to those "dumbing down girls" what the heck! They can do what they want, and we can do what we want. I think your zig zag came out great! Can't wait to see your next one

I love your zig zag quilt - and re the argument about dumbing down, it is just so unnecessary. There is enough room in the world for everyone to create what they want and I kind of suspect if the "dumb" quilts weren't being made there wouldn't be enough of a market to enable the shops to stock the ranges of fabric that they do! Live and Let Live. And be happy stitching!

Oh my gosh. Left them get a life. The new simple modern movement is fresh and fun. And, it keeps our young people interested in quilts. I'm glad you posted about this. I may do a similar one soon.
