I'm not quite sure how many colours I used in that area as I have done quite a lot more since posting the last photo. But it was about 30 - 40 colours. There are so many single stitches of one colour in the design! I will post another photo when I have finished page 1. Not too much more to go :D

How do you tackle all those colour changes, do you have needles pre-threaded?

Yes it is a Maxine Gadd design. I do use pre-threaded needles. It would be a nightmare if not! Glad you all like it :D
