OK boys and girls, I think I owe you some explanations on why I posted this...
I must say that ALL of you have good points and are right in part LOL, this seems to be a not so common things so we should celebrate it :)
RorrKonn: Yes I know about topology :) but this is not an object where it really counts too much... actually I was showing my daugther the many ways to do a Dynamic clothing and the different ways she can make a mesh and get alternate drapings, so the topology wouldn't be so important in order that she finally will get the same piece of cloth but collided and draped over a given object.
I'm sure she has a reason and if ANYONE knows what they're doing, Fabi does.

If we Tri'ed the flags quads by 4 and had that vertices in the center of all the Tri'ed quads
then when we blew wind at it.That vertices in the center of all the Tri'ed quads ,would bubble.
That's correct, gives a weird folding appearance. What was exactly what I wanted to show my daugther. We finally did the mesh using Hex and NOT mapping again untill we are sure it behaves like we want... and it didn´t caused for that center vertex... at least for THIS piece of fabric. So we now know how to do that with other meshes that we are developing and could be better with those cuts.
Quote - What we should do is to go together and petition Snarlygribbly to include this centre-vertex triangulation in his subdivider. It really is a good compromise.
That is certainly a fabulous idea and I will second it :)
EnglishBob: Thank you so much for the info, I will contact him right now :) BTW, I take the opportunity and say you have been one of my first gurus and I still use your fantastic morphing props, all the time... so Chapeau Monsieur :)
So well... all of you have been helpfull and my girl Lucila has readed this the same as me and learnt from all you. Let me say thanks again and see you around, designers :)
