Lightning

 
We saw quilts from this book on a Sewing with Nancy program. So we bought the book and Mother selected this one to make. It uses her strips that Frances organized. Plus it is cute. The 2 layers of batting made it very difficult to quilt, but very puffy and soft. Given to Aida to give to her workers or church friends.
