flowers would look beautiful on the border

I also think small OBW blocks cut to flowers and stems/vines would be perfect to tie it all together. Love it!

Yes, I'd add flowers on the border so the border as is won't over power the pretty center quilt.

First off, your quilt is beautiful. That being said, it is a modern pattern and in my honest opinion I think the traditional appliqué flowers like you have shown aren't the right ones. I do think you could add something to the borders, but I think it should be something modern in design. Using whatever leftover hexagon pieces you have to make a design in the border would add another interesting element to the quilt and not seem out of place. JMHO

I agree!!!!!

I am not sure that flowers would be the best answer but I do think that you need to add something to the border. Perhaps you could do some FMQ in a contrasting color. However you do want to be careful not to add to much as that would take away from the beauty of the original fabric. I do love the flowers on your second quilt. Really gorgeous!

If you have enough of the original fabric left that you could make some hexis, even small ones, to applique in the border with stems and leaves, it would be super.

I'm with those who would play around with any leftover hexi shapes in the border.... maybe a few randomly placed here and there, or using them as the flowers.
Your quilt came out fantastically!!!

It's a beautiful quilt and adding flowers would give it some "bling". Your second quilt is absolutely gorgeous - you did a great job on both quilts.
