no body remembers The Yellow Rose of Texas song. of course, I do!

I do I do!

No Roses! Actually, the song says, "There's "A" yellow rose in Texas." That doesn't matter much, but I think putting the roses on the block diminishes it. Simpler is frequently better and your block is perfect just the way it is without the roses. froggyintexas

It would look a lot better without the roses. It doesn't need them.

If I were going to have yellow roses, I'd find some fabric with them and fussy cut them for cornerstones between the flying geese rows rather than the add-ons. I vote for not add on roses.

The stitchin sisters voted just like you all - no roses. She loved the block too.

MimiBug123 08-22-2012 09:47 AM

No roses for me. The block looks great without them and I think they sort of throw off the good, clean lines.

One yellow rose would be enough, since the song goes she is the yellow rose of Texas..
the block is beautiful alot of work. thanks for sharing.

Some of the other sisters may use the rose in a future block.

I agree; its striking just as it is.

No roses. It looks great just the way it is.

No roses. It is beautiful.......clean, and looks more elegant without the roses.

Thanks for looking.

What a great touch. The thing is, if the person doesn't like the roses, they'd be easy enough to take off.

I vote for no roses

Without the roses.

sewellie 08-22-2012 05:55 PM

Without roses. If you really want the roses you could put them on the back with your signature goes.

linda faye 08-22-2012 06:12 PM

No roses. Beautiful as is. Great job!

Janet L52 08-22-2012 06:13 PM

The block is so pretty! I prefer it without the roses.

Phannie1 08-22-2012 06:14 PM

If you got Blue Bonnets, you do not need yellow roses. Lovely block.

Gerbie 08-22-2012 07:16 PM

No leave the roses off. The first block looks best. I think the roses distract too much and draw attention away from the center of the block. Besides it looks as though you have some small yellow in the center of the block anyway, or is that Bluebonnets? I personally like it without the roses, but that's just my opinion.

Quiltlady330 08-22-2012 07:19 PM

I think it's lovely without the roses.
