After hearing a plea for more quilts for our injured troop returning from Afghanistan, not only did I feel compelled to my little bit, I finally knew what to to do with the Union Flag fabric. I challenged my quilt group to make a quilt to go to Headley Court using the fabric. They were all given a piece about half a meter.
I was thrilled to be able to hand over the first four quilts below, made by Jean, Jean, Maureen and Wendy. I have yet to make my own. I have quilted a top that will go, I'm currently sewing on binding.
Didn't they do well! Not the easiest fabric to play with. And a big thank you to Tina who willingly held up the quilts so I could get a quick pic before the quilts went on their merry way with Sue.

Beautiful quilts and a wonderful result!
This is brilliant, do you have some more information? I would love in the long run to do something like this. I take it the quilts could have any theme...
Congratulations to all the people who have made one, you are a hero for helping our heros!
You can hear me applaud you all, from across the pond... well done!
Do you know I don't actually like Union Jack fabric in general and especially all those cushions that are around at the mo but I love how it's been used in these quilts, and well done for all the help for our soldiers.
What a brilliant thing to be doing. Well done you and well done to your group.
They're all beautiful and I'm sure will be much appreciated. What a great thing to do!
What a wonderful project. Congratulations to everyone for doing well with the "challenge" fabric :)
