The sewing machine in its new location, it does cover the bottom half of my design board but the heater on the wall on the left side of the image no longer works so it can be removed which will gives me a good big wall to put a new design board which has the advantage of being able to stand back from it….and haveing design board behind the sewing machine may well be handy, the pink fabrics are pinned there so that I am ready and set to…
 …Sew.
On the back and the front of the foundation fabric I marked a line the size of the photo and another 1/4″ inside for the seam allowance.
I ended up with only one seam that will need to be hand stitched.
On the last seam in the bottom right corner I wanted to keep the curve of the gold glitter pattern on the fabric so I cut around the part of the disign that would be lost in the seam, I then stitched the seam up to it and jumped over it to finish the seam, I then gently pushed that part of the design back through the seam and used a little bit of fusible webbing to hold it in place.
I am not going to get this finished, as I had hoped to, before I go on holiday but it is at least well started.

That photo from your top post will look great in the center.
