Vintage Sheet Chevron and ZigZag

Have you caught the chevron bug yet? I'm loving all the different clothing and homegoods with chevron patterns. A variation on the chevron is the zigzag. Here is some creative inspiration from around the web. Click on the source link for more info. Enjoy!

Zig Zag Quilts

There are lots of different tutorials and variations on the zigzag quilt. Here are a few of my favorites.

Most of you know how truly talented Jennifer, the creator of the Vintage Sheet Blog is but her rainbow zigzag quilt is gorgeous!

This is another very pretty zigzag quilt from a new-to-me blog. I love finding new inspiration sources.

Evelyn is a big fan of the zig zag quilt. So much so that she started a Flickr group just for zigzag quilts. Here's one example but here's another.

Yellow is such a happy color :)  I love how the wide yellow border ties together all the cute yellows in the vintage sheet zigzags.

This quilter shows how the zigzag quilt doesn't have to be all the girly pastel vintage sheets. This quilt uses a more neutral palette.

I love the colors on this one. But, I've said it before, Liz is the master at color combos. Check out her other zigzag quilts here and here.

For those of you who feel inspired to make a vintage sheet zigzag quilt but don't want to hassle with all the measuring, cutting, and collecting vintage sheet fabric you can order a kit. Mary even lets you choose your color combo.

This is another more neutral zigzag quilt. I love the harvest tones of the vintage sheets that she chose.

I think I've mentioned it before that blue and yellow are my favorite color combo. I don't post a whole bunch of pictures of myself but I wear blue and white stripes with a hint of yellow almost every weekend.

Chevron Pillows

Maybe you are thinking, "whoa Heather, that's too much chevron." Well, how about a pillow?

I love this pillow with British vintage sheets. The blues look so lovely with the purples.

Pink chevrons are delightful.

Transform a striped sheet into a chevron pillow. It looks so fresh and modern.

There are some really fun clothing items to make or purchase that feature cute chevron prints.

I love the cute pockets on this dress.

Here's my favorite color combo on an apron. It looks very vintage chic.

Here's a little tutorial for turning a fitted striped sheet into a chevron skirt.

Carry Your Zigs and Zags

Again, if you are just into a hint of chevron, how about a vintage sheet chevron bag?

I love this vintage sheet and denim bag. The inside is lined with vintage sheet.

Here is another wonderful chevron project by Liz. I love the bright vintage sheet patterns against the neutral background. You should also check out her latest chevron quilt. So cute!
