Streak of Lightning QAL -- Wheeeee!

I hope you are having as much fun as I'm having!

It has been a while since I've worked on something as "pulled from my stash" as these blocks are. The florals are delish & the go-withs -- the corals, orchids, pinks, sky blues -- are so pretty & girly. Not lady-like, just girly. As I stitch each pair of fabrics, I think "this is my favorite", then comes the next pair & I think "no, this is my favorite".
No, wait, I like these 2 best.

I know that quilts don't always equal the sum of their parts, but I'm having such a good time with these parts that maybe it doesn't matter if the finished quilt is not so good.

So impressed!! Glad someone is having a good time...getting both the dark and the light to zig and zag is the tough part. Now we both have 12!! But one of mine is the other block...How big are you making yours?

Beth, this looks like a lot of fun and it looks like it will shape up to be a pretty "scraptacular" quilt.

Woo-hoo! It looks really great. Love the orange dots and the "fade out" block. Lots o' fun.
