The pillow front is 100% linen and the back is Kona Stone. It turned out exactly as I imagined, but there's a problem. Did you spot it?
Maybe it's odd to display the flag of another country in your home, but I do love London and Scotland is fabulous. I haven't had the privilege of visiting Ireland, but it's on my list. Plus, my great-great-grandfather was born in Scotland, so I'm a tiny bit Scottish. I think it's the Scottish in me that makes me love chips and brown sauce so much! Brown sauce rocks!
So, did you find the problem yet? Someone from the UK or Australia will likely spot it more readily than I did. This flag was my first time to try a foundation paper piecing pattern. I didn't realize that it would create a mirror image of the pattern. In this case the St. Patrick's cross (Ireland; the red X), is in the wrong quadrant of the St. Andrew's cross (Scotland; the white X). See that top left quadrant? The larger portion of white should be above the red, not below it. Every quadrant is wrong all the way around. I wanted to show it to you, but I needed to acknowledge that it's incorrect because I know someone will notice. The error was unintentional and I meant no disrespect. But I still like my new pillow made from mens underwear!
ETA - Lynz has the perfect solution! My flag is being viewed from the other side of the flagpole, the non-hoist side! Thanks for the information, Lynz!
