Blue Zig Zags

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.

  3. Zapped might work. Or how about Blue Lightning? Maybe Stairway to Heaven?

  4. 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!
