Day 346 - Electric Storm

Even though we're heading into winter, we've still been getting some big, summertime thunderstorms. All that lightning and electricity has inspired a new design called Electric Storm:

This particular design was featured in my new book From Feathers to Flames. Right now you can get this new book plus From Daisy to Paisley for $30 during our Winter Sale. Click here to check it out in the Day Style Designs Quilt Shop right now!

Difficulty Level - Beginner / Intermediate. Electric Storm is really fun to quilt! First start on one side of your quilting space, stitching long jagged lines into the center. Travel to the opposite side and fill in with more jagged lines, occasionally allowing the bolts of lightning touch and stitch a star to show off the sparks!

Filler Design Type - Edge to Center. Working from the edges into the center of your quilting space is kind of a weird way to work, but it's very effective for spaces like your sashing or borders that are narrow and long and can easily be filled by stitching in a line.

Directional Texture - 2 Directions. This fun jagged texture will really add some spice to your next quilt!

Suggestions for Use - I'm planning to use this funky design in the sashing of a quilt I'm making for my son James. Large blocks filled with dinosaurs and robots will be surrounded by wide sashing filled with Electric Storm. Sounds like a match made in heaven!
