    Default City Lights
    This quilt is called "City Lights." It was fun and easy. After using scrappy strips, someone suggested I add a kite, etc., so then my imagination took over. I don't know if you can see the little details, but there is the obvious sun at the top, a flag, a couple of little eagles I cut out of a print I had, and then I added a tiny little sky-writing airplane. I know it's hard to see, but the plane wrote: God is love. This quilt is for Prayers and Squares.
