The little flowers really make a simple block pop.

I agree with everything Sheltie's Mama said. Things do go missing. Without her full name it will definitely disappear. Make it very visible on the quilt because the quilt is lovely!

It is so much more interesting with the flowers.

I think you are so right. I prefer the first one and I am a person who likes color but not a lot of accessories like necklaces. I think the first one will look "dressed up" after it is quilted. Some very nice quilting will make that little thing shine!

Both are nice, but the flowers add extra details. I agree with others to possibly add in her name or other such to help keep it from going missing.

I'm looking at this a little differently. I love the flowers - and I do like the basic quilt. But, what if you arrange them in the center of the quilt, some short, some long and maybe some stems - or add a basket or mason jar look. Hmmmm This could really be cute.

The flowers make it very special and turns it into art.

I too like the flowers. I made my Sister a quilt and put her name in the border by machine. They sent her home during a hurricane and when she was allowed back to the rehab place, the quilt was gone. i told her they will have fun explaining her name on it. She hadn't even noticed. the thief hadn't either or they didn't care. I hope this quilt stays put!!
