Thank you Sugarpumpkin & Lacelady.
As far as rain goes, we are getting more than our share here (near Rochester, NY). We have had the 2nd coolest July on record; and we have had something like 3 times the normal rainfall for June/July. It has rained all but about a dozen days out of the last 60. We've also had hail; and two nearby towns had confirmed tornadoes last week! Considering Rochester is one of the rainiest cities in the US to begin with, 3 times the norm is amazing. They say people don't tan here, they rust.

Mytwopals, Mamaskeeto & Chickadee_42us,
Glad you like the quilt; thanks for the kind remarks!
Yes, EQ5 (EQ6 if you buy it now) is a nice tool, even if you have to relearn things everytime you get around to using it!

Colletta,
During the design stage, I just called it "mosaic," for lack of something better. Then, when I started the piecing, I also started experiencing some of those symptoms that women in my age group experience, if you get my drift. When I went to my longarm lady to drop off the quilt, she was having those same symptoms, only worse! So I decided I must name the quilt as I did. Too bad it isn't done in warm colors!
My older sister refers to hot flashes as power surges. Perhaps that name would have been more appropriate fot the quilt.
