God Save The Queen

I love this quilt. The pattern is called Victory Garden but I call mine God Save The Queen. It’s my little tribute to the Sex Pistols. Yes, I went through a minor pseudo punk phase in high school. It involved a whole lot of eyeliner and a pair of over sized boots, nothing major. It happens to the best of us. I used Erin Micheal’s fabric collection called Lush from a couple of years ago. I like the idea of making little Union Jack flags out of pastoral American scenic fabric. There is something sort of wrong about it that just makes me happy. Oh, and the quilting is pretty amazing. Once again Angela is to blame for making me look good. That girl has mad skills. She’s like a quilting ninja.

    Perhaps I should try and make an Aussie flag like this ;-) because it looks so fab.

  5. That quilt is to die for – I am seriously thinking of making one of these in my bee – which funnily enough Angela is in (yay). How did you piece it? I’m guessing you need to paper piece for accuracy? Is it a real fiddle to do?

    Thanks,
    Janet
