My aunt whom I am named after turned 90 on the first of August. She's the daughter of Swedish immigrants so what better way to celebrate her BD but with a Swedish flag--made up of 90 different individual 1 inch squares.

Flag measures about 4 x 8 1/2 "

such an honor to have an aunt like this and to be able to do something that will mean so much to her. Can't imagine sewing that many blocks in such a small space. Great job!
