Background

I have fussy cut the major parts of the hat from the material.  I will add the details to the hat after I choose the background, sky, material.

This material to me is too light.  I think it would work better it I want the background to have a far away look; such as the sky meeting the horizon at the beach.

This material is too busy.

This photo doesn't do it justice, but the hat pops off the background.  I like the textured look of the material.  The light blue pattern on the material is that of connecting hearts.  I does set the hat off.  If you look at the post titled Fabric Choices, you will get a better feel for the material.
