I really like the piece, but the border really sets it off.

I have never seen a border quite like that and it is fabulous. It grabbed my eye the minute I looked at this picture. Don't know about how to quilt it, but be sure not to lose that illusion in the border.

I don't do much quilting, but your wall hanging is just beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us!

Your project is wonderful and love your border. Following the lines of the flag, eagle and banner shouldn't be too hard, just take your time.

Very Nice! I'd use some V's in the white portion of the borders--maybe quilting the V shapes about 1/4" apart--that would emphasis the red & blue parts. Probably I'd SID around those white stars in both borders. In the blue inner border, maybe some diaganol cross-hatching or some swirly FMQ, with SID (or down the centers) of the red/white strip. Then I'd do some outlining of the eagle in the center panel.
