LIghtning Zigzags
We have another minimalist block this month named Lightning Zigzags. The tutorial by Jenn Of All Trades is very clear with great pictures. The blocks go together quickly and measure 3.5 inches square. Because this block is so easy and simple, please make four to six blocks (roughly the equivalent of one 12 inch block).
The background should be royal blue to navy blue and the strips should be yellow, yellow orange or orange. Prints or solids are fine.
Kona colors that could be used in this block are:
Background blues could be:
