I love it as it is, much better than the bear. The fabrics say" traditional" to me, not cutsie, so I wouldn't use the bear or sunbonnet sue. I also wouldn't go with an eagle or bell, more masculine than the fabrics. Even a wreath of flowers wouldn't be as right as you have it now, IMHO. The tree idea might be an option to try, but I say its perfect now!

Hadn't thought of primative, that might work.

Love your quilt! I like the vase and flowers and the tree of life is intriguing too. Can't wait to see what you decide on :D

I think it needs the soft touch in the center. I love it just the way it is. A vase of flowers represents a natural and welcoming element in the house.

I ordered the EQ6 CD Baltimore Album and the Folk Art one. I've wanted them anyway. ;)

I ought to be able to find something similar that appeals to me. At least the vase and flowers now is one that I like more the more I see it, not like the teddy bear where I liked it less.

You have a good eye for design, you'll know when you see it!

Pam, I like this better than the bear, although the bear was really cute. This quilt is more nostalgic...so needs something different. I'm like you, I like the flowers and vase, but something is not quite right..don't think the eagle or flag will do it either....Keep looking and keep showing it to us..we make it sound sooo easy right??? :lol: :lol:

I like it how it is- the vase is pretty and softens the quilt a bit. I didn't see the teddy bear version, but don't think I would have liked it. (Not a big teddy bear fan.)

My mom has her whole house decorated with Americana stuff and her wallpaper border has a vase similar to this incorporated in it. I think it totally "goes".

Not at all, I love the flowers in the center!!
