Description
Union Jack
The three component crosses that make up the Union Flag are sized as follows:
The red St George's Cross width is 1⁄5 of the flag's height with a 1⁄15 flag height fimbriation
The white diagonal St Andrew's Cross width is 1⁄15 of the flag's height and the broader white diagonal's width is 1⁄10 of the flag's height
The red diagonal St Patrick's Cross width is 1⁄15 of the flag's height and the narrow white diagonal's width is 1⁄30 of the flag's height
Another way of looking at it is that the white diagonal St Andrew's Cross and the red diagonal St Patrick's Cross sit side-by-side along the centre-lines of the diagonals. They each have a width of 1⁄15 of the flag's height with a 1⁄30 flag height fimbriation. The crosses are slightly pinwheeled with St Andrew's Cross leading in the clockwise direction.
The centre-lines of the diagonals must meet in the centre. The three crosses retain their thickness whether they are shown with a ratio of 3:5 or 1:2

Lovely still life in a perfect setting! Love the shape of the pitcher and the patriotic mug adds just enough color. g+
