A few
I think I like this one because it's so bright. That yellow and black are pretty fantastic together and, let's face it the polka dots pull it all together. I quilted pebbles in the solid yellow and easy stippling in polka dots. For the black, I dropped in a loose, loopy rope design. All easy, quick quilting!
Although the quilt looks okay turned on its side, to form a Streak of Lightning design, I still prefer the way it looks in the horizontal chevron pattern.
As I think about it, I don't think I've seen a quilt with a Streak of Lightning design that I've liked a great deal. So maybe it's me. Maybe I just have a default design preference that I can't help going back to .
Oh well, if that's the case I am only now becoming aware of it, so apparently it hasn't hurt me very much. I guess I should pay attention to this idea. Well, maybe.

How about you? Do you have a default design sensibility that you can't seem to help liking over other designs?

Beautiful! I love how bright and cheerful it feels :)
I think it is really cute - and yes - I get design preferences too - when I have worked on a specific quilt, and see it one way, then someone turns it, I just about choke - ha ha!
Funnily enough I think I agree with you about Streak of Lightning, and much prefer your horizontal setting, which is interesting because when I think about it I would say that mostly I prefer vertical movement/orientation in a quilt. Go figure. In any case I like this yellow/black combination a lot - strong but not overwhelming.
