| My grand plan is to make 19 of these and use in one table quilt, but I don't know which color thread to use. #1 is black, #2 is gold, #3 is cream (although it looks white), and #4 is a variegated. I've pretty much ruled out 3 and 4. Before I do the big one, I have one more small one to do--maybe 7 flowers. Anyway--any opinions?

Hi Jolyn-
ReplyDeleteI like the look of #4. It blends in better and doesn't distract from the flowers....however, it depends on what look you're going for. #1 and #2 are nice too, just a bit bolder.
Whatever you choose will be beautiful :)

are you sewing them all together? If you want the "seams" of them sewn together to be hidden, then go with black. If you want it to be a part of the piece I would say the multicolored string or gold.
ReplyDeleteKatie--thanks for the comments. The reason I eliminated #4 is that the thread blends too well and all my work doesn't show (not that it's that great) but it looks like I only did parts of each flower.
ReplyDeleteKaris--These are sewn together with black thread. I stitched around each circle - but that doesn't show at all.
Can you tell I like doing this one?
I like the gold. It shows your work, but it's not stark.
ReplyDeleteI agree with karis - go for the gold. Best of of both worlds - design and stitching.
