3. How to make the design pop.
And all those other things enquiring minds what to know.
Thank you for your suggestions.
1. You're the one doing the applique. If you think it's too transparent when you put it on the background then don't use it.
2. Use the paint chip of your room color when choosing fabrics.
3. Use brighter colors with black or pastel with white.
Alex Anderson has a pretty good book out about choosing and making colors work together.
