Default Need Suggestions on Border

You have an awesome quilt design and there is so much going on I would use solid navy between your strip sets in the border to draw a continuous line to each Eagle head. It is a gorgeous quilt and will raise a good amount for a great cause.

If it were mine... I'd leave the red-white-blue strips by the eagle heads.
Then put navy blue between. Gives your eye a chance to rest and see all the beautiful work that's there.

What a noble project!
