New Glory, 60 x 60", by Scott Hansen (Washington, USA)
The artist writes, "This quilt is dedicated to the brave men and women who so valiantly live and breathe to protect our county. I wanted to create something based on our American flag, but which also had a modern edge to it. There are fifty stars, all different and unique, just like our fifty states. There are multiple red and white stripes holding the design together. I kept the traditional colors to give homage to our current flag. I think that if Betsy Ross (the seamstress who sewed one of the first American flags in the year 1776) were a modern quilter, she would be pleased."

That is a lovely new twist to the theme, with a lot of thought behind it.
