This week’s question: When it comes to design, what’s your favorite national or state flag? Wales’ big red dragon? The colorful design of South Africa? How about the symbolic red sun on New Mexico’s state flag?
I love all things British ^_^
The New Mexico flag for sure. When I was 17 I was able to travel there with my sister. Great memories! My granddaughter LOVES the Union Jack, she was so enamored with WIlliam and Kate's fairytake wedding! I would love to win this for her!
I want one soooooooo bad! Love all things British. Pick me, pick me.
I would love to win one of these! I absolutely love them!
My favorite is the Alaskan flag. I like the simplicity of the stars (Big Dipper & North Star) on the blue field.
I would have to say the Union Jack pillows……they follow the British theme of late but also remind me of the British Invasion of the 60"s — particularly of the Beatles coming to the US and the impact they made. Reminds me of their album "Abbey Road".
England is my Home away from Home. I need this Union Jack to put in my Guest Room… I am go to start a collection of British things… So PICK me Please!! Its hard to fing Union Jack stuff around here!!
My Favorite Flags are the American of course because I am a American and the British because if it werent for My grandfather meeting my Grandma in England then I wouldnt be here…. Plus I love love England!!
Nature lover that I am makes me a fan of the maple leaf design on the Canadian flag. However, I know someone who would absolutely love to have these pillows!
As an American, Old Glory envokes feelings of pride & love for my country, no matter how flawed it might be. However, the Union Jack brings back great memories of travelling abroard during college. Fortunately the colors are the same. It's red, white & blue for me!

The Union Jack since it reminds me of The Beatles and the '60s!
I love bright color's and the union jack as I am British
My daughter is a Union Jack collector. She would love to live in London but can't at
the moment, so I know she would love to have these pillows!! She has the same
pattern on the front of her car as a license plate!! This would be an awesome surprise
Christmas present for her!!
If I don't win, where can I get one??
My favorite is still the Stars and Stripes.
I'm into the whole western trend now a days. The Wyoming flag is my new jam.
I would have to say the British flag. I lived in London for a while and absolutely fell in love with the place. Seeing the flag is something personal for me, bringing back all of those fantastic memories. The colors are also the same as our flag, which brings my love of Great Britain home as well.
I love everything British. I hope I win one!!!!
actually my favorite is the Union Jack, because of the contrasting bold colors, strong intersecting lines and triangles.
My grandmother was a warbride, swept off her feet by my American soldier grandfather who was stationed near her hometown in England during WWII, so I've always been a fan of the Union Jack and the simple red and white of the flag of England.
A symbol that can be recognized anywhere!
The Union Jack is just such a strong design for a small country with a ton of history. Nothing can bring it down.
The bold and iconic Union Jack and the rich blue, gold, and white Louisiana flag.
I love the colors in the Alaska state flag. I lived in Alaska for 13 years and consider it a 2nd home. The blue and gold just go so well together. I love the story of its origins also. As a teacher, it has a lot of meaning to me that a 13 year old Native American boy won a scholarship for the winning design.
Being from the UK I obviously like the Union Jack, however my favourite flag is for Japan. The simplicity of the flag makes it a design icon. Good luck everyone.
Stars and Stripes forever!
(but I'd love a Union Jack pillow!)
By the way all the flags are pretty, but the Marshalls Island flag is vibrant.

These are so vibrant, love showing your pride with decor.
I like the British flag
The Large Union Jack Pillow would the perfect gift for my Granddaughter's 16th Birthday Sept. 17, 2011
There is something about British Decorative Accessories that she loves. She plays Bass and already
has a Union Jack Strap; and she has a poster of the Union Jack on her wall.
The flag of the USA of course!
Although I love the UK's flag, I think that Japan's flag is great. It's very simple, but it's beautiful all the same.
The red, white, and blue colors work so well together in so many different environments. I would loved to accent my home with them.
Greece has a very lovely flag.
I like the stars on the United State's flag. The Union Jack pillow is cool though. My Boyfriend is English. I'd love one of those pillows.
Since I'm Italian / Sicilian I'm bias to their flags too.
I love the USA flag. The symbolism and the meaning of the flag is wonderful. I also think red,white and blue are good colors.
I would say the Romanian flag. My husband and I went on a Dracula tour in Romania for our honeymoon, and we've been obsessed ever since. To incorporate it in design, we have used the blue as the predominant color with red and yellow accents. Furniture and accessories are vintage or a bit on the unusual side. If I had to choose a second favorite, it would be the playful and bold Union Jack or the unusual beachiness of the South Carolina state flag.
The Minnesota State flag for me.
I have to go with the stars and stripes of the US flag. What can I say? I’m a patriot.
New Zeland. It's not quite the British Flag but it's close and I love it! I love all thing British, especially Harry Potter!
Cool union jack pillow would love to own one.
O-H-I-O
I would love to be able to give this toss pillow to my British son-in-law!
Strictly from a design standpoint, I'd say the US flag because it's got decorative uses several times throughout the year.
I love the flag of Brazil, I like the colors and the shape contrast.
I love the Mexican flag because it stands for the hardship many had in finally finding a home land. The Eagle eating the the snake remindes me of good winning over evil, the catus reminds me that life & liberty can be a prickly journey. I really don't know what the symbols are supose to mean, but then that is part of the draw. I see the flag and it sparks my imagination, reminding me that every country had to fight hard to become independent and to have their own flag.
I have and always will love the British flag. I'm all for patriotism, and appreciate that the colors of the British flag are the same as the American flag, but the design of the British flag, in my opinion, has always trumped the American flag.
I think the union jack trend will last for the next year with the olympics countdown clock having begun counting down to the summer games in London!
There are 3 flags that I love..the American flag, the British Flag and the Canadian flag. I think they are all so beautiful and simple. I would be so excited to have that flag in my home.
I love Greece's flag, the colors are just so summer and beachy. The britains flag pillows are way fab as well!
