West Virginia has a state tartan! I don't know if it has been recognized by Lord Lyon as yet, but Glena is weaving it! It is based on the WV Shawl found in the Daughters of the American Revolution Museum in Barboursville, WV. The colors are red- for the cardinal (state bird), yellow- for the fall colors of the sugar maple (state tree), dark blue- for mountain rivers and lakes, black- for black bear (state animal), green for rhododenron (state flower) and mountain meadows, azure for the sky above, and a "ribbon of white to embrace the colors of our nation."

Here is the tartan as woven by Glena (notice the absense of the black and white lines)


Here is the computer-generated tartan I made using Dr. Philip Smith's proposal.
