It's worth a try . . . . maybe try it on a throwaway scrap? You do beautiful work!

I just start coloring in softly and add more color where the shading is. Where the white and highlights are you don't color at all. It is a very forgiving medium. Just make sure you use good quality fabric with a close weave.

Amazing work!!

Me too... I want to know how you did this so that you will be able to quilt this work. I like to draw too, but I'm not this good. :roll:

Beautiful!

wow! Iris is one of my favorite. Your veining is surpurb as is the rest of the flower. Very realistic.
