    I`m new and I`m looking for a simple pattern to include on a Swiss flag that I`m making for a friend. It can be embroidery or quilting.

    Try using Google to locate a free coloring book page of the flower you want. Simple line drawings such as coloring book pages can easily be done as hand embroidery or applique.

    Sorry I dont have a pattern of flowers BUT...........

    we are very particular about our Flag :lol:
    In opposite to most flags, ours is square not rectangulare and the bars of the cross have to be 1/6 longer than wide and in the middle of the red.

    make sure you sow a pic if you are done.

    Thank you for the dimensions..I knew it was square but I didn`t know how to center the cross. I haven`t started putting it together yet..just doing the research. I finally found a sketch of the wildflower and will try to embroider the image.
