Think it would look super.

I agree with Paper Princess. If you have any hexi's left, play around with using them as the flowers. Or if you have a bit of material left, you could make some mini hexi's and just scatter them around the corners.

I think applique flowers would be a wonderful addition to help that wide solid border not look so much like an afterthought or something added to get the quilt up to a particular size. You definitely have some very nice colors in your focus fabric that you can bring out in the applique. You can pick up the pink you used in the inner border and also the soft green that is in the fabric for the vines and leaves. Another consideration is using some of the more colorful hexi's to suggest a flower. If you have any left over. I definitely see a couple of hexis that look like a big flower. It would be a neat addition.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. I'm thinking I'll experiment a little. .... make some vine, flowers and leaves and pin them on for an audition. I only have a couple of hexis leftover from the quilt and just a 3" strip of the original fabric. But I often have to 'live with' a quilt awhile before it tells me what it wants to look like. I'll be sure and post a picture once it's done.

If you do add flowers maybe the opposite corners like the NW and SE corners or vice versa. Love both your quilts!

I think it would be great with some flowers on it. And it is wide enough to accommodate them. I say go for it.

I would like the flowers...........

Oh you know, that would look nice. I love flowers in borders and keep saying I will do that next time. Flowers in the colors of the quilt will be great!

Beautiful quilts. Flowers would be nice but I like it without them too!!

That big wide border is begging for you to do something with it. I say go for it!
