Shabby Chic Union Jack Pillow

The Union Jack pattern got a lot of coverage due to the 

royal wedding last month. 

The graphic is cool but I am not into primary colors...

but when I read Rachel Ashwell's post 

on hunting down a pastel union jack I found myself inspired.

She created her Shabby Chic version of the union jack flag.

I loved how this came out~as I love most everything she does.

 I cut out some aqua blue matalesse and stitched some 

petite cotton floral strips in the pattern on the British flag.

Top stitching with raw edges exposed for that easy shabby look.
