Need design ideas
I'd like to make a Swedish college-aged man a throw quilt for Christmas that incorporates blocks of the Swedish flag. He will be visiting our country over Christmas. I've already thought of making one large version of this design as the whole quilt. Any other ideas?????

I don't know about him, but I would not want to use a flag as a cover. If it's changed slightly by design, then I'd use a flag quilt.

What about doing the flag on one side and a selection of your choice or country on the other? That way he gets a taste of his country and of yours - where ever Dreamland is. hehe

how about something more American, he sees his flag all the time.
I'd go with blocks of different Americana sceans, Maybe the empire state bldg.
micky mouse ears, Grand canyon, Golden gate bridge. His stuff, is there all the time. says
nothing about coming to america. I personally wouldn't want a quilt of my flag. I see it all the time.
