Hat?Oh Summer Version

Unfinished needlework projects are not uncommon fibre archeology finds unearthed at thrift stores and this was one.  The center had been finished and the background, in a cream,  barely started.  The back is as lovely as the front with all the ends woven in and I suspect the person who started to fill in the background was different from the one who did the flowers but gave up after two or three rows.  I am touched by the amount of time and work and decided to 'rescue' it, honour it,  by turning it into a hat?oh!

It was cut into a 15 inch diameter circle,  zigzagged around  the circumference,  sewn to a 15 inch  circle of linen,  turned right side out,  edges left free.

Bring on the sun!
