A package arrived in the mail today,
and even though I knew what it contained, nothing prepared me for what burst from the box as I opened it...
a glorious riot of color made by my friend Wanda Hanson!
it's a Streak of Lightning quilt just as vibrant and lively as the name implies.
Usining Sujata Shah's design and Vicki Welsh's fabric, Wanda achieved a
make for one very vibrant quilt! Which
color combinations do you prefer?
It's pretty hard to
It covers me perfectly from nose to toes and is just wide enough to keep me warm without entangling my arms in extra quilt.
