Great progress :applesauce: :applesauce: I'm doing street party in the same series but must admit I'm finding it hard - does this pattern have a lot of 1/4 and 3/4 stitches ?

It really is such a warm and inviting design, and your stitching is perfect.

There are quite a few fractional stitches along borders of people. I feel kinda silly that before I started this, I looked at the pattern and totally missed all the fractional stitches so I thought using aida would be fine. Now I'm stuck with it and just use a sharp needle. There aren't as many fractionals that a TW piece would have so at least that's a good thing.
