border on top solves last problem
Figured out a border on the top to use the last three fabrics in the challenge. I have beads and buttons and things ready for embellishment too. Number 1 fabric to use was the yellow swirly mosaic (this fabric I had a fair amount of, but I couldn't use too much yellow) and it's the same as the swirling mosaic fish stripe above the yellow belly fabric. The number 2 fabric is a shiny orange satin that was too shiny and took away from the fish, so I had to use it sparingly, I had a good sized piece but it was too bold for the piece. Number three fabric was that wonderful sheer orange thread check but I only had a very small square and so I wanted to use it very much but didn't have much. I added the rest of the triangles from fabrics I'd used in the fish already. I hope it balances with the rest of what I'd started well. I really had my hands full trying to solve the problem of the three missing fabrics, incorporating them was a problem solving exercise. So I sorted beads the rest of the day. Now I know where my beads are that I can use for this piece.
