I love the flower and I think it's perfect just the way it is!

I vote for no flower and like one said, maybe put some in the borders. Very pretty colors.

Go with what calls to you. If you do use a flower, I like the two flower idea better. You have such a great eye for color!

I like that idea.

I think the flower is great.

I say it depends on how big it is. If its bigger then why not do some with and some without? a border of them without and the inside ones with? I like the added color myself.

I think your latest idea is just perfect....some with, some without. This may be a bit strange, but to me a whole quilt of empty baskets looks a bit sad. Beautiful fabric and your work is really crisp and neat.
