White Lightning



My plan for summer was only finishing up last year's tops, and I have made a bit of progress there.  But I simply cannot miss the opportunity to join the quilt-along with Smazoochie!  I have been admiring the zigzag quilts that are appearing everywhere....LeeAnn's, Sujata's, Kim's and Beth's, just to name a few...and I am jumping in with my black & whites.  This graphic design is most exciting to me in these dog days of August.  Getting a real charge!

  1. Wow Helen, I would have never thought of using black and white for the zigzag but it looks awesome! Can't wait to see more!

  8. I'm VERY eager to see this one develop! Will the blacks & whites run across the quilt top or will they be -- interrupted? Da da DAH! Stay tuned!

    1. I thought I would try making a few blocks to play with. I never know how my quilts will go together; they seem to evolve. But I'm often helped by suggestions from other quilters.
