As it looks like you have created our flag ... Greetings from Canada!
You have me guessing that your friend is Canadian ...

Some thoughts for quilting ...
* maple leaf - dependent on the size of the leaf and whether the batting requires quilting within, I would either just SITD; or quilt in the veins of a leaf and SITD around outside edges
* echo quilt out from the leaf - could be the whole quilting for the whole flag; for just the centre panel; or just two or three echos. If just a few echos, I would keep the echo lines quite close together (1/4" perhaps!)
* a simple wave quilt design to emulate the flag blowing in the breeze could work nicely in the side panels as well as the background of the centre. I would not quilt through/over the leaf and keep with something along the idea.

Sorry, but I don't know how large you have made the flag, and so, some of my ideas may be not as desirable, dependent on the overall size.
