A package arrived on my doorstep,
and even though I was expecting it and knew what it contained,
I wasn’t prepared for the color and texture that burst from the box as I opened a quilt from Wanda Hanson.
It’s a Streak of Lightning quilt, the latest of many Zig Zag quilts Wanda has made. I’m crazy about this pattern and watched with interest as her project progressed, finally asking if the quilt was spoken for. It was not, and Wanda graciously gifted it to me.
The hand dyed fabrics sparkle and glow like stained glass and I just can’t decide which combination of vibrant colors is my favorite.
It covers me perfectly from nose to toes and is just wide enough to keep me warm without entangling my arms in extra quilt.
