Making 'Streaks of Lightning' Quilt

Was it just yesterday that I opened my NELA Quilt Guild newsletter and saw a picture of a 'Streaks of Lightning' Quilt.....said to self, somewhere I have one of these quilts started.  Well, then the search was on to find my work-in-progress, begun so long ago that I had forgotten it!


Streak of Lightning Quilt Pattern


The idea came to me last year as I was sorting through books to rid myself of.   I was intrigued by the 'Streaks of Lightning'  quilt pattern featured in The Better Homes and Gardens America's Heritage Quilts, ppgs 114-116.  My fabric scraps were gathered, my half-square triangles were sewn and trimmed and then the holidays were upon me so I put this WIP away.....until this morning!

Thank you NELA Quilt Guild for the nudge.

    It will be lovely. :) Sometimes a WIP is a gem when you find you have already done so much toward another pretty finish.
