Okay, so I decided that I'm going to make a Saltire of my own (yeah, I know I can buy one, but I could make a nice heavyweight version for little more than the inexpensive thin polyester ones. Plus I need a new project to do while I'm watching TV at night.) I've got the fabric and colors picked out, but I'm having issues with one important thing: the dimensions of the cross itself. (However, I know the flag doesn't have a set size, although ratio of 3:5 or 1:2 seem to be the most common dimensions.) I've read up quite a bit about the flag itself, and I'm a bit unclear about the width of the cross in the center. Half of the websites I've read have stated that the center of the cross is supposed to be 1/5th (20%) the width of the flag itself. The other websites have stated that the width of the cross should be equal to 1/5th the HEIGHT of the flag. I tried downloading at least a dozen different renderings of the saltire from various websites, and NONE of them have a saltire that measures the proper 1/5th (20%) of either the height or the width of the flag, no matter how I measure the cross. Granted this is most likely just a result of web graphics generally not adhering to "official standards" when it comes to stuff like this, but it's frustrating because I'd really like to know how, exactly, it should be measured. So if anyone has a Saltire flag (ESPECIALLY if the flag was made in Scotland), could you possibly lay your flag out flat and measure it for me? I'm interested in four measurements: the width and height of the flag itself, as well as the width and height of the white saltire measured in the middle of the flag (ie, measure from one inner blue point to the other inner blue point, both vertically and horizontally.) Alternately, if you've got a triangle ruler with a 45-degree edge, you could just measure across one of the white bars for me (just make SURE one edge is perfectly aligned with the edge of the white bar, and then measure across.) Thanks guys!
