I agree with Darren...leave the flag as it is.

That's why you see stars and stripes on clothing and such that are representative of the flag without actually being a flag. I recommend you keep the image as is. Thanks for sharing - this is a great patriotic quilt.

Bubblegum your quilt is beautiful. Don't you dare take out all that lovely quilting!
If it bothers you I thought of an idea for you. You could make a seperate small quilted banner that says something patriotic and make it a 3d addition over the bottom part.
But, if it were mine, I would leave it. It is wonderful.

I think the quilt is so beautiful that it would be hard to adjust it without it being noticable. I agree, this doesn't have to be exact, good just as it is. I am sure the person receiving the gift will be so happy to receive this fantastic quilt.

You are so right about that wesing. I was thinking of that same idea too. It would be considered disrespectful to use a flag as a quilt. However, this will be a wall hanging and I will actually leave it as is, and simply let it go. This wallhanging was meant to represent the USA and for all our fallen heros from 9/11. I am going to put a dedication in all 4 corners when its done.
Thanks for all your help.
