The Pirate Quilt

Neela has been obsessed with pirates the last few months and now that I am trying to make a quilt for each of the girls she kept picking out pirate type fabric. It's mainly pink fabric with skulls, some is black with skulls. I was just going to do a patchwork with all the skull/pirate fabric and just add in some more fabrics to match.
However Nathaniel has convinced me to do a flag design. So hopefully when I get done it will turn out to be a quilt that looks like a flag. Basically it will be a black flag with a pink X and then a skull over the center of the X. This is going to take more work and now that I have let him give me his opinion on the overall design he keeps coming up with more ideas.... maybe he should start quilting:O
Overall I think it will be cuter this way and more themed but just more work for me. So here are some pics of the fabric and a rough sketch of the design.


Here are the strips waiting to be sewn together!
Oh and my little iPhone sock I knitted up. I am not as happy with it as I would like, I had to do a seam on the side and it turned out messy at the seam. Also I am not sure I like the red and white together...the yarn isn't a bright red it is actually a little pinkish but with the white next to it, it looks more red.
