Number 63 top in my 2" series is finished.

I've named it "Lightning Strikes" - due to the zig zag nature of this design.

Zig-zag pattern quilt on wooden floor. Squares are arranged on quilt in a zig zag fashion four different times, giving the impression of lightning

I want to try it with 1 1/2" strips instead of 2" strips. I can't wait to try it in fact! It will be pretty intense to make - doesn't look like it should be, does it? It's pretty deceiving! LOL. OK.

If I heard from someone that they really wanted to make it, I'd have motivation to bump it to the top of the list of patterns to finish up.

That's it for now! I hope you have a great day wherever this finds you reading! We should be traveling to Phoenix today - leaving from Denver.
