Woo-hoo! Anyone want to try to find a cool star pattern? Hubski contest for best arrangement of 51 stars on the blue field?

Not a clever arrangement, but I like the balance.

I like the symmetry, too!

I imagine Texas will think it is the middle star.

My daughter told me that every state could argue over who is the star in the middle! There's a cool arrangement of 5 pentagons alternating with 5 flowers in the blue spaces between the stars in the middle. Not entirely happy with the border stars, it's an attempt to keep the pattern rectangular.

Stars are very interesting to pattern with...

51 is a pentagonal number but fitting pentagons in squares does not look that cool.

It might look cool to have a blue pentagon slapped right in the middle of the bars.

I will mock it up later if I get a chance. But I think the lunatic fringe will be dismayed. and discordians elated.

I imagine it might look galactic.
