The AAQG show gave me the excuse or opportunity to create a small quilt. I quickly found a pattern to my liking, but was undecided on a color scheme. Then in mid-May, there was a violent thunderstorm that resulted in my car being totalled for hail damage. Voila! The dark greys, blues, and purples of the thunderclouds contrast with the whites and ecrus of the lightning. By the way, I replaced my damaged vehicle with a dark blue one I now call "Stormy".
