Creative Space Thursday

Ahh the Union Jack, the Union Jack, it goes like this and it goes like that!!!

I have been finally making headway on my Union Jack quilt, which isnt for me but for my hubbys sister Kate and her new husband James who were married last November in a beautiful wedding in which all my 3 gorgeous girls were flower girls. I said to them I would make a quilt for their wedding present, and Kate wondered if maybe I could do something with the Union Jack, as James is English. So I thought that would be fun, and now I am on the right track it is, but earlier!!!!

Matt kindly helped me with developing the pattern, phew, as I am hopeless with angles and things like that, I am sure if I had to I would have worked it out, but oh so much easier to have it done for me!!!

So here is a sneak peek of the 'Jack' so far...
