pink and yellow zig zags on white linen

I've been wanting to make this quilt for a long time.  A new niece was the perfect excuse. 
 Somewhere a long time ago I saw a method for making zigzags by slitting a strip of fabric every other inch or so and then pressing the slits so it formed a zig zag...which means...no half square triangles! 

 Just some machine applique.  And lots and lots of straight line quilting.  


The white fabric is actually linen and I love the crinkly softness of it.  Hope my little niece does too!
