I am always interested to see quilts made from my tutorials. This Zebra quilt was made by Corinne, who lives in Fairbanks Alaska.
Corinne wrote, "Thanks for the inspiration... I've used several of your ideas to create my own quilts.
"This is a wall hanging for my daughter to hang on her living room wall above her couch. It's about 50 inches by 70 inches. I ended up making my strips 1.5" wide finished... I spent a few days coloring in multiple variations of page 59 from the tutorial and then had discussions with my daughter about what colors she wanted the quilt to be. It was a really fun project to work on and went together so quickly!!
"The tutorial was great. It explained things very well. I've been quilting for a lot of years so usually can figure out the pattern once I see it but [the tutorial] still made things easier for me. I did buy the ruler you recommended and it made life so much easier. I usually make scrap quilts and this quilt ended up with 16 fabrics plus the black but I still like the way it came out. Now to try something more scrappy."
What excited me the most about Corinne's quilt is that she took an idea of mine and made it uniquely her own. If you would like to make a Zebra quilt, you can get my tutorial here, in my Etsy shop.

Stunning. Glad she shared her process, too.
A whole new twist for the Zebra, brilliant!
Nice work Corrine! Are the blue and orange fabrics ombre (is that the right term?), or did you have individual fabrics that worked so well together?
It’s stunning and I love the look the horizontal size.
Thanks for sharing my quilt. It was really fun to do. The fabrics are all individual fabrics from my local fabric/quilting store. There are so many options for using the Zebra tutorial. I would highly recommend having fun with it!
The quilt looks terrific.
What a treat to see what others do with your design. Thanks.
