PARROT TULIPS WIP

This one has been lurking in the shadows for sometime.  I put this one away due to not liking the colors complimenting the white in the tulips. The magazine picture looks nice. But, in practical color use, they looked muddy. I changed the muddy brown shading colors to lightest pinks and a winter white. And liked the result. Will also arrange the leaves so they are closer to the flowers and not yards of stems, which seems like a waste of fabric and stitching time. I find that most all of my UFO's are due to not liking colors or problem fabric.

Can't wait to see more of this one! Glad that you figured out what the problem was! I have this magazine too, and look forward to more updates!
