Red Tulips

When I think of spring, I think of tulips. Last spring I took a photo of my red tulips right outside my door. Their vibrant red was such a contrast against their green foliage, which is why I chose this photo for this challenge using contrasts. I printed my photo out on my InkJet printer onto fabric, and hand quilted around all the leaves and tulips. I used gold cording to bring out the yellow of the tulip's centers, plus the black borders to also help accent the centers of the tulips. I bought the quilt hanger at our guild's silent auction. I love the way this hanging brings a touch of spring to my living room.  Pam Clark

A lovely Springtime image. Colorful yet muted.

My snow pile is down to less than 3 feet. Would like to see tulips blooming instead. Your tulips are WONDERFUL. I especially like the contrast between the vibrant red and the grayed greens. Well done!

I love the colors! Wow! I love Tulips, too, as I am Dutch. Where can I get a quilt hanger like that? I could have a perpetual FFFC exhibit at my house!.
