It is made from a simple, improvisational block, arranged together to create a wonky zigzag shape. I’ve combined purple, pink, and orange fabrics with Kona medium gray for a fresh, modern feel. 
It is backed and bound with fabrics from Denyse Schmidt's Hope Valley line. The striped binding fabric actually inspired the whole color combo.
You can find other wonky zigzag quilts on flickr. Tong created a lovely one using solids for the Robert Kaufman challenge, and Emily designed a gray and green pillow that inspired mine. You can easily use charm packs and/or jelly roll strips to make these blocks. They are also a great way to feature your favorite scraps!Want to make your own wonky zigzag? I created a tutorial for this pillow, which you can find here:

I love this pillow. And the zigzag, which seems so much more exciting than a regular old chevron... Delightful!
I really like the pillow. I don't have a scribd or facebook account so unfortunately I cannot download the tutorial. :/ But thanks for sharing anyway.
