I made this Union Jack quilt for my sister Sara in honor of her birthday which was yesterday. I've had it finished for a while but had to wait to show it.
Sara served a mission for our church in England when she was younger and has always had a great love for that country and people.
I used whatever red and blue fabrics I could find in my stash, most of them are from the Connecting Threads Canning Day collection but I also used a red from the Sherbet Pips collection. The pattern is called Victory Garden by Busy Bee Quilt Designs. It measures 56 x 62, a perfect lap size.
Yesterday was also my sister-in-law Stacy's birthday so I made her this sweet lap quilt.
I used FigTree Quilts Butterscotch and Roses collection, a charm pack and honey bun plus fig tree cream for the sashing. The pattern is called Square One by Camille Roskelley found in her Simplify book. It measures 56 x 65 and both quilts have a 80/20 cotton poly batting.
I loved making these quilts. They both turned out just the way I wanted them to.

They're both really nice. Did you give them to Sara and Stacy yet? What a nice birthday surprise.
It really was a very nice birthday surprise. I have decided I am going to use it instead of putting it up. It is too soft and cute not to use. I need to have British themed room in my house. I have lots of stuff I could display. Thanks again.
