Rag Quilt with a name

My little niece is the recipient of this little rag quilt.  She is a year old this weekend.  It is cuddly with pink, purple, and green turtles and elephants.  3 layers of flannel fabric and her name is appliqued on a diagonal down the quilt.

I'm working on a quilt for all of my nieces and nephews.  I'll call it my "Aunt Challenge."  I love the flannel rag quilts, but will branch out with different types of quilts as I work through the older kids.  I now have the two youngest ones set up with quilts from aunt Carla. 

Actually, I have delivered the next one also.  But that's another post...
