    No Roses! Actually, the song says, "There's "A" yellow rose in Texas." That doesn't matter much, but I think putting the roses on the block diminishes it. Simpler is frequently better and your block is perfect just the way it is without the roses. froggyintexas

    It would look a lot better without the roses. It doesn't need them.

    If I were going to have yellow roses, I'd find some fabric with them and fussy cut them for cornerstones between the flying geese rows rather than the add-ons. I vote for not add on roses.

    The stitchin sisters voted just like you all - no roses. She loved the block too.

    No roses for me. The block looks great without them and I think they sort of throw off the good, clean lines.

    One yellow rose would be enough, since the song goes she is the yellow rose of Texas..
    the block is beautiful alot of work. thanks for sharing.

    Some of the other sisters may use the rose in a future block.
