I've had this tablecloth for years, bought because we have a gold dining room and it was big enough to cover our table with 2 boards in it. But I was never fond of the sunflowers. Too. . . obvious. . . too standard. Or something.
But I wondered if I could applique something on top to help the print. I dug through my stash and ended up with these big daisies in a similar colorway. I simply ran a line of machine stitching close to the edge of each cutout. It's understated meddling, and I like the whimsical results.

This is something I would do too! The daisies perk it up, don't they?
They do blend in very well. Good thought!
So pretty...
I had to go back and look at the first picture again to try and see where the appliques were because they blended so well. I like it!
"Understated meddling" - what a great turn of phrase!
