I have a pattern for a Union Jack pillow and seeing what an amazing job you did it gives me hope that I can achieve the pillow. As for the error, I didn't look for it because I was too busy admiring what you have created.

I decided I needed a Union Jack mug rug for my tea cup. :)It's just scraps but I like it.[ATTACH=CONFIG]562567[/ATTACH]

My eye was drawn to that pink square initially, too, and then I realized all those squares were sticky notes placed on the quadrants, not part of the piecing.

I think if I ever make that block I'll make the outside stripes all the same width. I don't think anyone would ever have found that mistake, and if it were mine, I doubt I'd have fixed that one. But if it was driving you crazy you did right to fix it. Nice blocks, btw. And I really like the quilt that was posted, too. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Tartan! Great idea!

I just happen -- cough cough-- to also have some quadrants that I didn't use because the stripes didn't come all the way to the corners, which would make great mug rugs....maybe for her mother and sister.

I also have two full blocks that were somehow not quite 12x18, meaning I had to remake two blocks. I plan to make pillows from those. I like the Union Jack but confess that by the time I'm done with this, I may never want to see it again!

It had to be pointed out. Very nicely done and good for you, catching the booboo.
