I made one with just cutting out squares, laying them out, laying the white stipes on top of them, and then trimming the big squares. It was easier than when I tried to do the individual triangles around the stripes. I laid an actual flag on the table to use as a template to match the angles of the stripes and placement of the squares so that the proportions would be correct.
Good luck. This was my first quilt and was a lot of fun.

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.
