When you look back at your first post, the forth bookmark is rather different from the others, but I think really finishes off the set, by it's contrast and difference ... if you know what I mean?! :shock:

Sometimes I really know what I want to say - but when I do, it just doesn't come out like it sounded in my head! :doh:

The three are stunning together :applesauce: :applesauce: and so kind of outshine the fourth in my opinion (that doesn't mean I'm right of course, just that's how it looks to me).
Have you another that might match in more with them?

Unfortunately (or fortunately as it means more stash) there are no more bookmarks that will fit in with the first three however there are some full fractals where I could take the middle out to fit.

Option 1 (Fractal 54):

Option 2 (Fractal 199):

I'm still trying to decide which of the two I prefer - I think Option 1 slightly more suits the other 3 (I think the repetition of colours in Option 2 is too close compared to the others) but I'm taken with the design of Option 2 so I'm considering buying both patterns and maybe stitching the one I don't use as a full design. :thinks:

Tracy - those are great choices. I think that Option 2 would be the one I would choose, it just seems to catch my eye more than the other one.

Great Job on the 3 you've completed they look great!

Both of these are wonderful designs and I am not sure which one I would choose. I really like the first one the best and think it fits in with the other designs the best but I like the star burst design also.

hmm okay I like the starburst in general better than the option 1...
But I personally think that Option 1 suits the others better!!

Wow well done on getting the 3rd one done. :applesauce:

Hmm...see what you mean about the 4th. Must admit for some reason option 2 jumps out at me... :thinks:

I think for me I would choose option one as all the designs fit perfectly together but the 2nd one is nice too :D

Option 1 goes better with the others I think, but option 2 is lovely! Maybe have 5 instead of 4 and put the starburst as the middle one! :dance:

I think option 1 suits better although I actually prefer design of option 2.

Either way stunning work and designs. :D

I got paid today and Cross Stitch Collectibles have 10% off all their fractals and a buy 2 get 1 free download at the moment so these are now winging their way across the ocean:

And this is safely saved on my computer:

I'm definitely leaning towards Option 1 as it seems to fit in with the others which is what I'm after (then I don't have to worry about reversing Option 2 and can stitch it by itself).

I chose the one for the free download because I have these two from their freebies over the last two months and figure that I can do something similar with the three of them:
