I have been admiring Amy Smart's Union Jack quilt at Diary of a Quilter for some time. I followed the progress of her blocks and am totally infatuated with the finished quilt. One day, I would love to tackle an entire quilt of Union Jacks, but in the meantime, I decided to start smaller with a couple of pillows for my best friend back in Texas.
Like Amy, I used the Victory Garden pattern by Busy Bee Quilt Designs. I added a couple of borders and quilted it with straight lines. For a more polished finish, I wanted to attempt an invisible zipper rather than my usual envelope back, so I asked my experienced mom for help. She did a beautiful job, though I am not sure this quite overcame my fear of the invisible zipper...I am still much more comfortable with the trusty envelope closure!

Wow! That Easter t-shirt looks so cute. I'm amazed at how creative you are, especially how you fused a rabbit silhouette onto a tee-shirt and sewed on a pompom for the tail. Nice work! :)
