I agree with you on that Lobo. <G> As for the flower.... one of the
traditional ways to quilt it would be a quarter inch inside each seam
line. So you would have smaller hexes "echoed" inside the piece.
The fan could be done similarly, perhaps emphasizing some of the parts
only. A bit of echo quilting around them would also be possible.
Lovely quilt and good luck in the challenge.

I'm trying to stay away from the traditional as that is the expected thing,
and I always like to do the unexpected whenever possible! I can imagine
doing curvy lines outward from the center of the flower, but still am
stymied by the fan.

i suppose it is too late to add some petals blown off and away from the
flower.
maybe smaller ones so it looks as if they're blowing away from the viewer.
just my initial thot when you said the fan blowing the flower.
fwiw,
