How to Make a Wonky Zig Zag Quilt:
Step 1
For one block, cut 1 square at 4½ inches and 1 strip at 2⅓-3 x 5½ inches, then place the strip on top of the background fabric with their right sides facing and at an angle, and then pin them in place.
Step 2
Stitch them with ¼ inch seam allowance, then trim off the excess fabric, open it up, and press nice and flat. Square the block into 4½ inches, then repeat the same steps with the remaining fabric.
Step 3
Once done, assemble the block units together however you want, then stitch them to each other one at a time, and press the seams as you go.
