The flag has thirteen stripes, seven red and six white, and a navy canton seven stripes deep with 23 single white stitches for its stars, inside a navy line. The white stripes are stitched. A piece for the Fourth of July in a 5 by 7 inch frame. Full crosses only. It is 59 by 69 stitches and uses three thread colors.

59 stitches wide by 69 high: 2,453 full cross stitches in 3 DMC colors (Red 321, Very Dark Navy Blue 939, Winter White 3865).
