ok, here is my honest opinion. The flowers and vase do match, bc they do look a lot like the ones in your other fabric. so if you like it, it will be fine.
However, I am somewhat of a stuffed animal kind of person...at this stage in my life...gbabies and all, and I loved the teddy bear with the patriotic theme. Have a book with one, and always planned on doing something like it.

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!

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.

OK if I had to pick one of those 3 I'd go for the first but I still think the the softer lines of the vase jar with the geometricity of the outer blocks - sorry Pam! I showed it to Hans and it was he who put it like that, it was what I felt when I first saw it but didn't express it very well! I think, but I'm not sure that your eagle is actually a dove with the olive branch in his beak? LOL Hans suggested a stylised eagle built up of triangles and squares - I don't really see it, to me it's too contemporary and I think you want a more trad feel - but I pass on his suggestion anyway! Gosh, I bet you wish you never asked! LOL
