I am making this wallhanging for a friend and I dont think the colors are right. I used yellow for one flower and pink for the other and I think they are getting "lost" in the background. And maybe the green is too washed out? I have another green and pink I could use but I dont think they go with the outer border I've chosen, which is the pink tulip fabric. Since I only need four blocks I wanted to alternate the flower colors, pink, yellow, pink, yellow, but if I go witht the other colors then the pink is too bright and doesnt match the yellow or the border. Should I just stick with what I have done already or use the other colors and buy different border fabric? Sigh, decisions, decisions....

Trying this again...

I think they look light and springlike...
I like them

I think the colors are beautiful, but I think that you need more contrast, I would probably use darker colors for the flowers. My 2 cents worth.

They do kinda get lost in the background. I agree, more contrast.

I love your background fabric!!! Maybe a little darker or brighter on the flowers. But you could keep it the same and use quilting stitches to bring your flowers out more.

i love them myself

Nice but I agree that you need more contrast. :lol:

The dark pink you have in the picture would blend nicely and at the same time give you the contrast you need. Otherwise, it just looks like 2 spikes poking up. Go with contrast!!

More contrast is better, but if you need to use the blocks you already made, you can outline them in a deeper color thread- rose, dark green, or even black- that will keep them separate visually. Time to try out the decorative stitches on your machine, or even using a tight zigzag or satin stitch.
