It's the Monday of my week's pre-retirement leave ... and I have the flu! I want to be sewing and "doing", but instead I'm sitting on the sofa feeling sorry for myself!
I got the fabrics I ordered today. I'm not sure about the yellow for the star centres - the fabric is thin, and I'm worried you're going to be able to see the seams from the front. I think I'll make up one hexagon shape, and see what it looks like when I remove the card from the inside. If it doesn't work I'll just have to buy some more fabric! I wish I could just pop into a fabric shop and buy off the shelf ...
I've ordered got some seeded cotton for the background diamonds, but, again, not sure how that's going to work out. It will be fine next to the darker stars, but maybe there won't be enough contrast next to the lighter coloured stars.
Plus I got some yellow flannel which I want to use for the backing. That one at least looks like it's going to fine!
