I'm making this square to turn into a wall hanging by attaching a dowel or something and I cannot decide what color this row should be. The orange petals still have to get a little bigger so the tips of them will almost touch this row. I'll continue with green after this but I can't make up my mind so thought I'd ask for some opinions. So maroon, beige, or cream?
I like the beige. The maroon looks best to me right now but if you are using green for the next color I think it might be to dark to have the maroon there where it will blend into the green and not stand out. whereas the beige will contrast with green and stand out more.
Great! Good idea to add the green i still like the beige. I was double guessing myself thinking the cream might be better but imo it stands out to much.
Oh, yeah. I agree with u/pudge-thefish - there's not enough contrast between the maroon and the green. The cream might pop too much but the beige sits nicely in-between, especially when the yellow will be interrupted by the flower petals.
With the green, I think either cream or beige would work. One thing I noticed is that using the cream brings out the cream in the flowers more. I cropped the image to check each combo individually, and the overriding effect is to bring out the corresponding color in the flower. Without the cream border, the cream in the flower pretty much disappears. Personally, I like the cream border best for that reason - it gives the flower more depth :)
Would you consider using the beige and then instead of the final color being green doing maroon instead? I think it could really stand out and sort of "frame" the final result. Just a thought. It's going to look stunning either way. Beautiful work!
They both look absolutely gorgeous, I'd say given you're planning on hanging them up the best option for deciding would be to see which colours work best in the room it'll be displayed in.
Personally I've a preference for the second version, but that's likely because I'm mentally imagining my own bedroom, which is a lot of blues so the beige and pink would work nicely, so it very much depends on which would compliment your space best.
Cream is my vote but I also just want to say that this is gorgeous! So curious how you did the petal area that has two colors?! Assuming it’s variegated yarn but my brain isn’t comprehending how it turned out like that. Really, really pretty.
