About this pattern

A heart filled with the Colorado state flag. A band of navy blue runs across the top of the heart, a white band across the middle and navy blue again down to the point. In the middle sits the flag's round red letter C, open to the right, wrapped around a gold disc that is exactly as tall as the white band. Dark brown outline around the heart, which mirrors left to right except for the opening of the C. Full crosses only. It is 45 by 43 stitches and uses five thread colors.

45 stitches wide by 43 high: 1,316 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Medium Navy Blue 311, Red 321, Winter White 3865 and 2 more).
