This is Flag Day in the US, a day to commemorate our stars and stripes flag and all that it means to us and our country.

Quilters also remember the flag in many ways and create numerous colorful designs in red/white/blue with stars and stripes incorporated within.

Stop by Penny Halgren’s web site for Rag Flag Quilt information: How to Make a Flag Rag Quilt in a Weekend.  Penny also reminisces about the flags in her life.

Do other countries have a special day for their flag?  If so, when?  Do you, as a quilter, create or use designs resembling your flag? 

I’d love to have you share your thoughts.
