I have finished sewing the blocks together for the blue and yellow zigzag quilt. One of my readers suggested the name "Lightning Strike."
I mention this because..
In 2015 I made this version of Sujata Shah's Rail Fence quilt for my nephew's high school graduation. He chose the colors - purple and orange - and I would choose the design. When working with purple and orange - two strong vibrant colors - it seemed obvious to make them electric. My friend the Selvage Fairy gave me the name for it - Lightning in the Night Sky. My nephew loves the quilt and still sleeps under it every night.
So Lightning is out. But maybe such a kooky quilt needs a name like "The Electric Blue ZigZag."
Maybe.
Anyway I think the Electric Blue Zigzag will get a yellow border and then be bound in blue. I'll have to think about it.

How about ZAPPED!
Looks grand all sewn together. I like the ZAPPED suggestion.
The Electric Blue Zigzag..... Great dance.
Zapped might work. Or how about Blue Lightning? Maybe Stairway to Heaven?
You can name it Zizzzzle.
How about Code Blue?
I must admit that I like your nephew's quilt better. Probably because of that wonderful picture of him running using it as a superman cape. Terrific!
