Hats vs. Triangles

I decided I should use the hat fabric that came with the month 5 shapes and designs. I cut the fabric, I basted the fabric to the papers and kept telling myself that it would be ok.

We all know that means trouble and this set of diamonds just didn’t make my heart sing. Also, it made me feel like I was missing an opportunity for fussy cutting.

I was looking for some other fabric and came across some Carrie Bloomston triangles, which had the right grey plus a spark of pink. It is much better.

I thought about putting the pink at the tip, but then decided it would look great centered a little more. A happy accident is that the pink triangles created a star in the center! I am a lot happier with this fabric.
