It's a little confusing, I'm wondering do we have to use the string pieced heart pattern & pieced squares that the courtepointeclaire provided, or can we put our own interpretation on them remembering the colour restrictions?
My understanding is that it is our own interpretation .... though I am only "reading" it too!

There is an email address for Claire Haillot (of courtepointeclaire) given on the last URL I posted (the PDF instruction sheet). If you have questions, I'd think she would be able to answer them for you without much delay. Here's the link again.

I understand that red, orange and yellow are colors of the flame and fire and should be avoided. As a Canadian, how do I avoid red in our flag that is red and white?

That's how I first thought too, but then after looking at the links, I see they really mean a "pennant" type NOT an actual Canadian flag.

Make something other than our red maple leaf that signifies Canada ... how about a beaver, moose, etc.
Or just something non-Canadian?
Words?

How be everyone post theirs as inspiration ....

I changed my sewing plans this afternoon and got one made, so will share the picture here. I signed it on the back which is the same design as the front. I used heat-n-bond lite and edge stitched the appliqué pieces. [ATTACH=CONFIG]428553[/ATTACH]
