Shabby Chic Union Jack Wall Hanging

I'm on Moda Bake Shop today! I wasn't expecting to be but an opening came up unexpectedly - please go and visit me over there if you have a moment and leave me a comment - usual rules apply, whatever you think of my post, just gush - gushing makes me feel good.   I've made a shabby chic union jack wall hanging from the wonderful upcoming Fa La La line from French General.

A closeup of the quilt shows the fabric is made up of a shabby chic patchwork of overlapping charms.

When you ask your 12 year old son to hold up a union jack wall hanging for you in a public place, don't expect him to smile.   Your 11 year old neice might smile but your 3 year old neice will look on with slight distaste - kids, eh, they just don't get the wonder of my quilting.

  2. Why do I always have to do things like that!
    None of my class mates would ever have to do a thing like this!
    OK mum, I'll do it ...

    He looks great, and so do the girls.

    O, yeah, and so is this super big fat Jack!

  17. Great project! At least your son isn't holding the quilt at arm's length and pretending that he's not involved!

  18. It looks lovely - love the way the older two are holding the quilt and your little girl is completely unconcerned with what is going on. Great shot!
