Oh mY!!!
Here's my decisions...
The points stay. No set in triangles.
And I tried the black. I really did and it was like I was drawing a black line around all the pretty colours. Didn't do it for me. It drew my eye away from all the pretty colours like it was shouting, "LOOK AT ME!!!"
SO... are you ready? You know how you can wear jeans with any colour and it looks fine? Ta da! I had some cotton fabric that has a denim pattern. Medium blue. And that's what I went with. I'll post a pic tomorrow when I get it off the machine. 3/4 done!!
