    I totally agree with this. I love the two themes, but for a patriotic quilt, go with something other than the flowers in the center. I like the stars and stripes idea, and the eagle, too. Or how about fireworks? (Not sure how you'd make that though.) I didn't see the teddy bear, but I'm not sure a teddy bear would do it for me either.

    Pam,
    I sticking my 2 cents in again. Pam you do have great instincts and I still really like the look of BA and the pattern in the middle for me is perfect . When I think patriotic, I always thing BA, because of the time BA were designed. What ever you decide will be great.

    The flowers are pretty - but my first thought was also an eagle - as long as you are doing the patriotic - how about a liberty bell? a copy of the constitution? books for education? - need an informed people to make intelligent decisions.

    I do like the flowers better than the teddy bear. Teddy bear was cute, but I didn't think it fit.

    How about a Betsy Ross flag in the center? Will give you a bit of a curve.

    I like the flowers a lot better than the bear. Makes it a much more "serious" quilt.

    I don't want to get TOO serious. :P

    Maybe a more primative looking BA, not so formal. Still looking (in between working).
