Lots of good ideas for thread. I'll look and see what I have and check joanns. I have fabric left and will try that before the tulips :wink:

because of the print, I would go with darker purple. i love variegated on some things. think it would get lost or blend too much here, and metallic can be beautiful, but these flowers are so pretty right now, just need a little bit of edge enhancing - to me. :D

Ruth-that is just beautiful--you are very talented.

thank you for the praise. I got a dark purple for the flowers and for the green a varigated.

These small projects are practice for an applique quilt. I am having good luck with the heat and bond

Beautiful Ruth :)

They make me feel so HAPPY! Beautiful, beautiful tulips!!!
