I like the idea of putting a scroll there ... the yellow one is OK, but the beaded one doesn't compliment the quilt. The medium you are using doesn't lend itself to nice smooth edges and with this simple straight line piecing I think smooth edges (even if curved) is called for ... the uneven edges of the beads just doesn't fit to my eye.
Perhaps another medium would work better ... something metallic perhaps, something that can be molded into shape.
Something like the seahorse tooled out of a soda can in the pic on this page - but in the shape you want and not using the printed side of the can.
