I have wanted to make a Union Jack quilt for quite sometime and I received a fabulous pattern from my lovely friend Leanne. (thank you Leanne). This is my first block it took me a little while to figure it out because the pattern uses the width of yards of fabric. I wanted to make this quilt from my stash and not all my fabric is in yards, I have a lot of fat quarters. However I am in the middle of my second block and getting there slowly. These are big blocks and I am sure once I get the hang of cutting the pieces from my stash it will come together quite quickly.

you must have a very patriotic stash if you are hoping to use fabric from it! It looks very interesting so I look forward to seeing the finished quilt!
You have done a great job Susan, your block is lovely. You can use a fat quarter for your block, as long as you can get 4x 4 1/2 : strips, I used a few FQs in my quilt. Have fun.
hi Gwen I have two drawers full of blue fabric and two draws full of blue and I didn't even make a dent when I made the blue, red and whit star quilt. So I pretty confident. lol :)
