This is the 'Blue Lightning' quilt, that I made on (what I call) the 'Shadows' pattern, but with descending blues of various shades rather than a single color, as the earlier 'Shadows' quilt displays. I think you will agree that it's stunning now that I've finished. I had to wait until I got all the earlier quilts in the mail before moving on with this one!
This started as a quilt for a family member, who I thought that I had missed while making quilts for all the others. When it was nearly finished, I reached out, just to be sure that I had missed making this person a quilt in the last round, and found that I had, in fact, not missed him! Though it would have been easy just to send it to him anyway, that would mean that I would need to get working on another for all the others, to keep them all equal and even. Instead, I turned this into a Quilt of Valor, and got it on it's way!
In a couple of years, when each of my family members are approaching another watershed point in their lives, I will create and send them each a quilt.
