Is there batting? I have thought about making, but thought I needed some kind of a nylon fabric. What fabric did you use? Size of flag? I love it and would like to make them for the seasons and holidays, birthdays etc. Could even personalize for birthdays and anniversary. So cute!!

I am making notes in my to do book. I love all that could be done. I have purchased one flag with a quilt block, but it was expensive. I rather make and have changes. These would be fun gifts, also. Thanks for the info and size.... Thank YOU!!
