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!

Easy Crochet Necklaces
You can use any decorative crochet braid or rope to make a necklace. Just make the rope, attach a clasp on each end then hang a charm or pendant from the center of it. You may even sew on a few small beads on the rope for an added touch. Or if the holes in the beads are big enough, you could put a few beads on the rope with the larges one in the center. But in order for the crochet rope to show, you may want to put only about 4 large beads on with the charm hanging in the center of them. This would be a good use for gold or silver thread. You could even sell these at craft bazaars.
