    Love the border! The cornerstone flowers tie it all together. It is really adorable!

    Is this a single block? Or a thumbnail pic of the entire quilt?

    Looks like I'm the odd man out:

    If a block -- though the flowers are nice, its geometric shape does not seem to mesh with the tumbler shape. Each geometric element is aesthetically pleasing by itself, but not as a whole.

    If an entire quilt/finished piece -- nice with the flowers. Also consider adding the flowers in another way -- maybe along a first border followed by a larger border.

    I always like to have what I am designing speak to me: if a particular color or design resonates with me, that's when I know I've chosen the right one/right way. The fact that you are questioning it may be telling you something.

    Good Luck! Hope you post the finished project for us to see!
    Blessings, DramaMama

    Now that the border is on I really like it, plus the cornerstone flowers. I think I'd do flowers, no stems and leave it as is!
    Beautiful!!!

    Like GrammaBabs... it depends on who is going to receive the quilt. Personally, I like the flowers.

    With makes the quilt more interesting to look at.

    I love the flowers. I also think the open space is wonderful for some creative machine quilting.
