Betsy Ross is famous for having sewn the first flag of the United States of America in 1776 with 13 stars and 13 stripes representing each of the 13 original colonies. It is said that George Washington, George Ross, and Robert Morris of the Continental Congress visited Betsy Ross in June of 1776 and showed her a first draft for the first flag which George Washington had drawn with a pencil. Ross and Washington knew each other from visiting the same church, and Ross had previously sewn buttons for George Washington. The draft was changed slightly and is said to have been sewn in Betsy Ross’ own living room. The first national flag of America after the Declaration of Independence is therefore also known today as the Betsy Ross flag.

Throw blankets can be used not only to snuggle and keep warm, but also to decorate your couch or as a wall tapestry. The comfort and imagery of these high quality blankets are made to last and pass down for generations. The triple layered cotton blanket is made out of 100% cotton and is therefore especially easy to launder. Machine washable on wool program (30°C), lay flat to dry.
