There is a big blank space on one side of our barn where I plan to make and hang another barn quilt, but when I found a retired flag at a thrift store, I decided to make a flag display to hang there during the summer months. I still have quite a few antique windows in my stash, and I found one that was the perfect size for the flag.
I love how the colors in the flag coordinate so well with the blue barn quilt.
This side of the window has just a bit of chippy reddish paint on it. All the rest of the paint has flecked off, so lots of the natural wood shows too.
Once summer is over, I’ll store this flag display away, so it doesn’t become too weathered, and hopefully replace it with another barn quilt to display the rest of the year. I still haven’t decided what design I want to use yet, but I need to make up my mind quick so my college son can help me with drawing the lines on a board before he goes back to school in the fall.
If you missed all the wonderful patriotic decor projects at last week’s Farmhouse Friday, you can see them all HERE.

Love it! Great job!
This looks soooooo smart! Love your idea of using the old window, too…not only does it look amazing, it offers your flag some protection against the elements. Really fantastic!
I may have told you once before that I LOVE your blogs……but I haven’t told you that YOURS is the VERY 1st email each day that I MUST open!!! That’s a sincere compliment!!! And, I really love your flag display…must convince the husband that all the “stuff” I am collecting is for a REALLY great purpose!! 🙂 I’m trying so hard to collect the money to buy the MILK and CREAM stencil (pray, hope, wish…)
What a creative way to display your flag. I love what you’ve done, it is beautiful on your barn with the quilt!
I love the window with the flag! I have a stash of windows just waiting for me to do this project!!!
So beautiful – I just love it! It really does go with the quilt barn. I’m visiting your lovely blog from Weekend Retreat blog hop.
Thanks

Thanks so much, Angie! (great name! 🙂
REALLY love this flag display in a window idea, Angie! So “vintagey” clever! Featuring it on Party Junk this weekend. 🙂
I just adore how you framed this flag – it really gives it a presence. I’m also a barn quilt lover myself, so I’m digging that barn quilt, too.
What a great idea…looks so cute there on the side of your barn, too! (BTW…I found you through the link up on Justagirlandherblog. 🙂
Thanks so much, Tamara – and welcome! 🙂
