Waterlily SAL

Here is the fabric and the colors of thread I will be using for the Waterlily cushion.

The size 8 is Anchor 307 perle coton and the size 12 is Anchor 306.

I have debated making the fabric darker, but I think I need the contrast that is shown here. If the fabric gets any darker I am afraid I will lose the stitches against the blue.

I painted the 28 count linen with Dyna Flow Cerulean Blue. First I wet the linen and then painted the fabric with a sponge brush.

You can't tell from this picture, but the color varies across the fabric from light to medium. I tried not to make it a perfectly even color.
