The subject of "America the Beautiful" is North Carolina and all the state has to offer. I used Historical sites to include the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, Kitty Hawk (where the Wright Brother brought America into the age of airplanes. Additionally I used key landmarks and geographic regions (Table Rock Mountain, Blue Ridge Mountains, and the Piedmont). I also placed the American Flag and Bald Eagle, with the North Carolina State Bird (Cardinal), the State Flower (the Dogwood). The quilt says exactly what I wanted it to, "America is Beutiful, But; I call North Carolina home".

"America the Beautiful" is currently on display at the Appalachian Cultural Museum of the Appalachian State University, Boone, North Carolina.
