I was wondering if the purple binding on the scallop is what is not looking right to you. I love purple, but maybe it seems to much contrast to you against so much white. Have you tried the green or the lavender? I was also wondering if you had tried more than one size flower appliqué? Mostly medium with a sprinkling of larger and smaller? It is beautiful and I love your colors!

I think the scalloped border would look beautiful. Then let some wonderful quilting fill that area instead of applique. Just my opinion....

I would do the scallop but I would quilt a design in purple and green thread in the border. Just me.

If your up to it, I really like the scallop edge! It is nice and feminine, like the applique in the center.
peace :D

I like the scallops with the purple binding. Use the wide white border for a special quilting design.

So it seems the scalloped borders wins. I thought maybe the border was too small.So I am thinking no applique and quilted.
The purple that is up there is not the purple that will be used for the binding I just had that handy. It will be the purple that is in the diamonds.
I have small amounts of the green
I have very small bits of the light and medium purple . I did try different sizes on the flowers.

Now I need to find quilting pattern for the border. I have one for the plain blocks. This quilt is going to be hand quilted so I know I can follow lines. lol I really wish I could afford to send it off for long arm quilting.. Charismah has shown some gorgeous work on the board.

Thanks everyone for the help and encouragement.
