"Northern Lights"

So, so glad that this quilt is finished and up on my wall for the month of March.

Pattern source:  Bought at Fun with Stitches quilt store in Belleville, Ontario, Canada and the pattern name is "Lightening Bolt".  Once I got to the halfway point, my brain started to hurt in trying to figure out the placement, so the pattern got tossed and I went my own way.   There was extra fabric and strips were cut in different widths and sewn to resemble our northern lights.   So, so glad that the pattern got tossed!

Today, is my Mom's birthday (she passed in 2008) and she would have been 104.  Happy Birthday wherever you are.  Thinking of and missing you greatly!  

Cherish your day, cherish your life .... because like the people of Ukraine, we will never know when our lives could be shattered!

    So true, Rose Marie, we never know what tomorrow might bring us. Gorgeous fabrics. As for your quilt; how striking it is. You tossing the patterns away and continuing with your own imagination is working a treat. Why, you should consider designing quilts.

    Nice finish. Your habit of going off pattern works well for you.
    Mums are special, and never to be forgotten.

    Another lovely finish. Love the blues too. Nothing wrong with a brain that can figure out that or similar pattern!!
    My mom passed away last July...she is very much with me still.
