There are several patterns that might work for "extra" blocks. some of these could be found as prints or patterns: eagle, bison, House of Congress, star, flag, Lady Liberty head, mini scenes (purple mts, ocean, etc.). In the past, people have often put the label on the front, as well.

I've read all the posts and any one of them would work depending the look you want. Whichever idea you go with (or combination of ideas!) it will be beautiful! Be sure and post completed quilt.:)
