I think it's wonderful that your son's GF selected the pattern and the fabric. I would ask her is she would like to pin the flowers where she would like them to be.

I like the flowers at each set of leaves best. Put that up on your design wall and cut out a few extra flowers and ask her if she wants to add any more and if she does, have her place them. The design looks young and fresh!

I like random!

My first choice would be randomly placed on the quilt, even down the dividing lines of fabric. If you really don't wnat to do that then I would go for a flower on most of the leaves ( BUT NOT ALL OF THEM ). I would add a little more interest by adding a few other things here and there like a bee, or butterfly, etc. Would love to see it when you finish please.

I like random, which could also include a flower being by a leaf every now and again... I also like the idea of maybe a simple butterfly or two, and or dragonfly or two...and the idea to ask her what she thinks?.. I agree about why even ask your son??..lol...I have had the same issue...and yet at times I still ask his opinion...sigh... :-) Aren't we the nice moms??...
Anyways, it is lovely already, and I didn't see a "so many mistakes" as you put it...great job!

Agree

Though I would ordinarily say random about these things, on this one, I like a flower on each leaf.
