Finished Union Jacks Quilt
5 Attachment(s)
This is a Christmas present for my daughter who has been living in England for the past 9 years. She worked really hard to get British citizenship, so she is now a dual citizen of the U.S. and G. B. I wanted fun Union Jacks (think Austin Powers!) and spent months collecting just the right fabrics. I prewashed my cotton batting to minimize the shrinking/crinkling effect when the quilt is first washed. I like crinkle, but not where there is so much decorative stitching as it tends to obscure it. I STID all the flags, and did decorative FMQ in the sashings. I drew up my own pattern, tho there is a Union Jack pattern available somewhere online.
So here is the result...
