Why You’ll Love the Ziggy Zag Pattern
The Ziggy Zag Table Runner is designed to showcase the amazing precision and speed of the GO! Qube 6" Mix & Match Block System (in conjunction with the GO!) With the Qube 6" Companion Set-Corners, an accurate cutting is easy. But, if you don't have an electronic fabric cutter, it is not a problem; the pattern can be modified easily with the standard rulers and templates with traditional rotary cutting.
This table runner is a versatile size of 18" x 30" and will fit on most dining tables, sideboards or kitchen islands. For those who want a bit bigger of an investment piece, it is also easy to enlarge by adding custom borders.
Essential Project Details & Fabric Requirements
If you're looking through your scrap bins or fabric stash to cut out pieces for the project, here's a quick breakdown of what you will need to complete it:
If you're looking through your scrap bins or fabric stash to cut out pieces for the project, here's a quick breakdown of what you will need to complete it:
- Finished Size: 18″ x 30″
- Design Focus: Zig zag motifs, dynamic lines using unfinished 3½” blocks.
- Fabric Needs:
- Featured Prints/Colors: Great for fat quarters or yardage (coordinating reds & greens for holiday wear, or contemporary "scrappy" color combinations). The estimated amount of each colorway you'll need is about 1/4 yard (or one fat quarter).
- Background Fabric: About 3/8 yard (or 2 Fat Quarters) to achieve crisp, high-contrast background space.
- Cut ¼ yard to frame the piece without any difficulty.
- Complementary fabric: 1 yard of backing.
There is a combination of some neat snowballed corners (made with 2" background squares) and some old-fashioned four-patch units. The linear geometric rhythm that unfolds as you arrange your blocks in its signature 10-row x 6-block layout is immensely gratifying to observe.

Quick enough to sew up in a single weekend and an adorable homemade gift for housewarmings, holidays or birthdays.
