It would be more than you want, but sheer curtains might work. They come in a variety of colors. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays...?selected=true

Loosely woven fabric won't last through machine washings. I had to have this piece of organza for a big round sun on an applique quilt. Have to repair after each washing.

My eyes must be better in the morning. Look for a piece of heirloom light blue batiste. The imported 100% cotton stuff is pretty see through. It is expensive, but a true quality fabric. I made baptism gowns for twin granddaughters out of white batiste, and their slips were in pink and lilac. The colors showed gently through the white with a very nice effect. I think a light blue batiste would allow the stems to show through well, though you might need to go darker in the green.

I agree with Toogie that organza or a very light vinyl or plastic would work.

I used organza on a quilt to make sunglasses that you could see the eyes thru. It worked fine on a wallhanging. I'd be hesitant to use it on a quilt that was going to be washed a lot.

When I clicked on this site, it came up as "not secure" so I immediately backed out. I have McAfee virus protection.
