That looks like a very nice carpet.
Which pillars got the short swords though?
This should be a thing.
kind of make sense considering the origin of these patterns.
fasting because it involve doing nothing, the hajj because you want to travel light and charity 'cause a little bit of charity goes a long way.
lithuania. the stripes represent the 10 counties and in the canton are the Columns of Gediminas, a national emblem dating back to medieval times.
latvia. the white stripes represents the 5 historical regions which comprise modern day latvia. The number of of stars in canton repeat this with the sunburst below, taken from the arms, was used by latvian troops in russian service, many of which later served during the war for independence.
I'd switch the colours so an occasional Czech lion can be added to the canton.
France is a difficult one to do because the OTL vertical stripes are just so distinctive. I think I prefer the flag of @The Professor (to that of @Marc Pasquin earlier in the thread) as a flag but it doesn't actually look much like a canton-plus-stripes.
ps please don't take my comment just as blunt criticism - I have literally no idea how I'd do France with a C+S design, so I'm impressed that you both managed something!

mind you, if you use the national emblem as part of the pattern, preserving the vertical bars may not be all important as what it represent would be recognisable to the viewer.
it also occurred to me that a recoloured version of my alt-belgian could work. feels like I'm cheating though.
, I like it.
The design looks good but considering there's 2 stars displayed, the country is in the Caribbean and according to wikipedia the largest ethnic group identify with its south-asian ancestry, I feel like I may be misunderstanding something.
