Good luck. This was my first quilt and was a lot of fun.

Nina,

Your Confederate flag is great! I think it would even pass the "politically correct" police, since it is stylistic instead of being completely realistic.

As a true blue Ole Miss fan here, I grew up the Rebel flag at football games. I once made an Arrowhead block in red and blue and it immediately read as Rebel Flag. Stylistic without being a true rebel flag. One of these days, I'll make a lap quilt for those Ole Miss nieces and nephews.
