I just wanted to post a quick update on my Lightning Strikes quilt. I haven't been able to work on it as much lately because of my busy work schedule. But, this is a rainy weekend and the family went to Japanfest for the day so I was able to have some sewing time.
This first picture is where I left off in July at my last post:
Here is where I stopped today:
I still have about half the rows to get together, but I am getting there. It is really fun to see the pattern emerging!
Here are some more pictures of the fabric swatches, pattern and how I keep the different widths organized.
This is my inspiration fabric:
I hope to get a little more done today and that will probably be it for this weekend. I have a wedding to attend tomorrow!
Go HERE to see my post from July.

I Stumbled onto your site, or maybe better put it was by God's divine providence... I love your quilt you are working on. You said you obrained the beautiful pattern out of a magazine... could you tell me what that magazine would be so I too may create one? thanks!
Keep up the beautiful work...

Wow! It is going to be amazing!
That is going to be a stunning quilt when it is finished. Loved seeing how you organized everything in prep.
I wish I could be that organized! The quilt will be beautiful!
I love this:)
this looks so intricate and hard...but turns out to be so beautiful. thanks for sharing
This is gorgeous! I haven't seen this pattern before.
My first thought was "ooohhh" and then "wow" popped in there, and then "she needs to come to my house and get us all organized" and then "no, I think she scares me she's so cool"! LOL
Beautiful quilt. Thanks for sharing with us!
That's going to be amazing! Love your organizing system, too. I imagine you'd have to be very organized to make this quilt! :o)
Beautiful quilt...appropriately named. Love your organization. Have a great weekend.
Love your colours. You are an organisation inspiration!
Beautiful colours. I have never done a bragello quilt. When I see all your baskets it looks a little overwhelming! The results are so amazing though! Hope you have a great week...Sherri : )
Stunning quilt!! Just Amazing. Thank you for sharing it, and your organization!
Many blessings,

That is gorgeous! I've always wanted to do a borgello (spelling?) quilt. Maybe I'll start with a mini! Well done. Cannot wait to see your progress.
oh wow..this is stunning..I can't wait to see it finished!!
The colors of this quilt are wonderful! Your focus is fabric is well represented indeed. When finished, this quilt will be amazing! Thanks for sharing. ; ) As you can see, we ALL wish we were as organized as you!
This is really gorgeous! It looks like a ton of work. Work that is going to pay off! I love the colors you've picked!
Thanks for participating in Sew & Tell - sorry it took so long for me to comment!
Your choice of colors is beautiful. My Mom has made 4 lightening strikes, her girl friend has made at least 6. Now Mom is making Haley's comet. It's very similar - but she say's it is a lot easier to put together.
