Aunt Linda's Strippy Flannel Quilt


Aunt Linda came from Santa Barbara for a week-long visit. She brought 5 quilt tops. We got 3 quilted during her visit and she left the other 2 for me to work on later.

This first quilt was made from scrap strips from her numerous flannel and rag quilts. Aunt Linda did most of the long arming. She learned quickly!
