    1. I love, love, love your hat! And thank you so much for describing the details of the project. So interesting that Ruth contradicted herself on the number of squares! Nice to know. And thank you for your link to my video on cutting a circle from a square (one of Ruth's cleverer tips!). :) The colors and your workmanship produced a first-rate 1920s cloche. :D I look forward to your next pix.
