    Well, I have one corner stitched on.... working on the other corner. I'm not going to put any flowers on the other corners. I think this ..... flowers on the corners.... is becoming a signature for me. I will have 3 quilts that I've finished this way..... well, similar.... and I really do like them.

    I did cut out a flower from the original fabric to put in the center of the large pink flowers and I didn't like it. It pulled the eye away from the center section and without it I think it flows better.

    And I do appreciate the suggestions .... all of them... the ones I choose and the ones I don't choose. It really helps to 'hear' from everyone. Thanks.

    I think that the flowers make the quilt something special. Looks great.

    I agree with Dunster. The applique is appropriate and definitely adds to the overall eye appeal. But the green in the stems is a little dark. If you lighent that up a little it will enhance the overall look. Beautiful quilt by the way.

    I love the floral border. I picks up the colors that you want to accentuate in the main part of the quilt. Lovely.
