Made from blue and gold wool, the hand quilted motifs on this quilt are sewn in red stitching. The motifs include the fan, wheel and church window with three spirals, and the overall design still follows the traditional Welsh framed layout. This differs from the strippys made in the North Country, which have specific rows of strippy quilting patterns that follow the fabric. In Wales, the strippy quilting layouts are the same as a plain wholecloth.
