    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.

    Ninnie, Bill'sBonBon & Esqmommy,

    Thank you all for the enthusiastic replies!
    I cannot say I agree that hot flashes are worth it, though! :oops:
