Very pretty. I think the applique takes away from the basket look.

I like both of them and would use both in the quilt!

I would keep it this size but drop it down a bit and have hanging over the side. Just my thought.

I like the idea of alternating with and without a smaller flower. Love your colors...made me feel spring is on the way.

I too like the flower but agree it looks a little cluttered. I would think maybe smaller or use same colours but more solid fabrics so it stands out better. It will be a very pretty quilt whatever you decide to do.
