Done! Quintessential chevron in gray and white. The simplicity says it all...
And I just love this pop of Echo on the back! Isn't it just perfect?
Thank you to everyone who gave me binding advice and those of you that suggested I do a peak of the backing on the binding. I love the way the yellow is like a little entry way into the quilt, a quiet spot amidst the harder charcoal border.
This is the first time I have ever tried a zig zag binding. I figure it is a baby quilt which will hopefully be used and washed often so a sturdy binding was the way to go. I think the zig zag works well with this chevron piecing!
I just love that yellow corner!

It's fabulous! Awesome job!
simplicity itself. and perfect. that backing really just makes it sing.
Love it! My sister just made a quilt almost exactly like this, a large scale herringbone with the same colors. I just loved that mustard colored background. Striking color combo.
I love it and the yellow corner looks marvellous!
This is so fantabulous! Can't get enough of grey these days.
