Very pretty! I'd go with only one rose at the top left corner.

I agree with Tartan, don't add the roses. I know the idea "the yellow rose of Texas" but it looks better to me without them. IMHO.

Although I am partial to yellow roses, I think they clutter up a lovely block---I vote without!

Obviously I am not an expert, but I do like it without the roses better. However, if you really feel adding the yellow roses add to the cultural picture, I would add them on the actual light blue material, slightly apart from the main symbol. Or even picture number 2 without the top 2 roses looks pretty too me. I do like your quilt and your work is terrific.

Without, I love the flying geese they really add to it & the roses take away from the quilt. I also remember the song very well & now it is stuck in my head.

I like it without the roses although I know there's a song The Yellow Rose of Texas and it would be great to get one on there. Maybe it would look better with smaller roses. Just a thought.

Since you have the flying geese in the upper right corner of the border, how about putting the roses in the lower left corner of the border. I would like that very much and think it would look very nice.
