    Pam, I think it looks great and gives it the Baltimore Album effect. Many of the old Baltimore album quilts had a patriotic them. I love it.

    It looks great. I'm thinking like shaverg---it does have that BA look. I'd leave it in.

    Not a teddy bear person, either, like the flowers, first thought that popped into my head, was a farm pic or an old barn, don't know why.Maybe even an old church.

    I like it with the flowers and vase -- adds a soft touch to the stars.

    I love it! I'd vote for the eagle in the center. Have you thought of putting any yellow ribbons on it?

    It is a BA block from EQ. I thought of it because of the fabric, which is from the Coverlet II collection. BA is a very American design.

    I like it because of the contrast of the curves and everything else is angular BUT, that's why I'm wondering if it isn't too much of a jarring note with the rest of it.

    I've looked at eagles but I didn't quite like that either.

    A tree might be interesting though it's still the same element of the curves.

    Thank you for all your opinions. I'll leave it as I work on it and see how it starts to look in person too.

    It might make a difference with the actual fabrics. There are a lot of curved designs in it like this and several circular ones. I'm thinking of using the corner blocks of this but in blue for the flower vase.
