It's a beautiful Union Jack quilt and you did a MAGNIFICENT quilting job! Love your quilting! I'm going to take a quilting class and hope that one day I'll be able to quilt like that!

The confederate flag has just the X from corners to corners, 2 overlapping bars.

But whatever she called it, you did a fabulous job on the quilting.

Yes it did but the Union Jack (of which this quilt is), or any adaptation of it, was not one of the designs at any point in the history of the Confederacy.

That is just lovely...There is too much hoopala over the flag..It is just a part of the history of the south and should be left that way...
