Lightening Streak #2 progress

The blocks are growing!!

I figured I have enough to make 90 blocks - so if I set them 5 x 6 - that would be 30 blocks

therefore 3 quilts. 

The would be 45 x 54 ish each - that's a good lap size quilt right?


this block is turning out to be a great leader ender project... super simple!!

Love your color palette!

That looks like a great project to use up fabrics in my scrap bins! It's really pretty.

Super project. I like that you are using one solid "brick" fabric with squares. Excellent plan. And, yes 45 x 54 is a good size quilt.

Beautiful coloration!

Hi Alycia! You are rocking this layout. You've got it going on so why not continue?! I love a good leader/ender project. It almost works on itself with no thought by me. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne

All the quilts for kids I make fit into this size because the fleece backings are 50 x 60. So I get 120" batting ; subcut 50 inches and each cut makes 2 kiddo quilts. This is a nice size, maybe too big for baby blanket.

You get such a cool look from such a simple block. Looks like a great scrap buster too! Win/win definitely.

Those are such pretty blues and greens together! I like your lightning streak design!

Jenny said...

Very effective, but simple, just what I like!

Scrumptious. Love the rail fence feeling of the navy fabric.

Love the greens and blues lightening streak quilt! I think 45 x 54 is a good lap size. It's great to be able to make three quilts from those blocks! Thanks for sharing with Monday Musings!

Kudos on making enough GREEN blocks for THREE quilts, Alycia!!
