Liberty and eagle are both applique. The rest is pieced.
The word block are pre-printed panels I purchased at the AQS in Des Moines.
I also thought of detailing the eagle but since Liberty isn't detailed I thought it would look better if I leave it simple.
Thinking of adding a small red border then bind in navy blue...?
what does everyone think.....

This is lovely! And I'm always amazed at those who can design and execute quilts! I might be able to tweak, but never design or execute! I love that Lady Liberty is not detailed. Again, wonderful quilt!
Praying for Japan.
