How Quickly Daft Jumping Zebras Vex

Well, the daft zebras almost did me in. I worked all weekend, and finally got the letters I wanted.
You can click the photo, then click it again to enlarge.
How many letters did I make in all?Fifty-eight. The phrase has 30 letters.

Details later, I'm a bit exhausted!

I so loved the original ZEBRAS so I hope you will find a good use for it and the other extra letters.

You have inspired me to try words. Today I picked out colors and a single background color - baby steps toward free piecing with flair. Mt quote has lots of letters - Life is a series if thousands of tiny Miracles. I am going to try!

Please excuse the typos in the last post. The quote is "my" and it is a series od tiny miracles.

Dear stitchipenny, a single background fabric is a VERY good idea, but you will probably need at least THREE times as much as you think you will. So get LOTS.

Lynne is right - at LEAST three times as much as you think you'll need . . .

The Zebra quote is awesome ... you are going to have so much fun turning those "rejects" into an OOPS quilt . . . after you recover!

it looks great, especially with the background colours in the same tone and value. I agree, making letters takes lots of fabric. but its worth it!

It's looking a lot better.

Yup, making letters uses a lot of fabric, but you'll have great fun during the process.
