we are fortunate to be enjoying summer weather, probably for the last time until next year. back to shorts for a few days. another week with NO medical appointments makes me a happy camper indeed. rather, busy with fall cleaning and sewing of course! so here is the streak of lightning so far....

only 2 more rows to assemble....happy to say busted the entire piece of the tan background fabric...not a smidgen left, only the tiniest of snippet pieces of waste. how did i manage that? this gem that's been my math go-to for decades....

the quilting on 'midnight' continues, now working the last border. more work than the others of course, but one side is done. should be a finish soon.
if you see this adorable blondie today, wish him a happy 66th! this is younger brother and he was a charmer from day one. don't see him often but always in our hearts nevertheless....
keep calm and sew on!
Great progress on your lightening quilt Grace and well done for calculating the exact background needed. I think I need a copy of that book! Christine xx
ReplyDeleteYour streaks of lightening are very bright.
ReplyDeleteI love your lightning quilt, it looks fabulous! Doesn't it feel great to put a dent in the scraps and stash. I always love that feeling!

Lots of energy in that lightning! Doesn't it feel great to use a piece to the last bit?!
ReplyDeleteThe streaks of lightning strips look great. What a relief to have all the measurements come out exactly the way you wanted. Great book!
ReplyDeleteLove the Streak of Lightning quilt. Really moving along.
ReplyDeleteI think I could benefit from a copy of that book, too. I just checked and they still have used copies on Amazon!
Sounds like I am one month younger than your brother. I hope he had a good birthday.
You have made great progress on the Streaks! That book is precious and lucky you to have it. I use my EQ7 program a lot and is handy for me.
