It looks fantastic. You don't seem to have too much more to do? :applesauce:

I settled on the BP alphabet in the end but will have to play with the W to make it fit the square.

Sorry, the updates have been missing a bit recently. I think I mentioned earlier that I was due to see the friend for whom I was stitching this at the start of March. The start of March was actually a bit sooner than I thought I was going to see her, so I've been working all my spare time on finishing the afghan so I could give it to her when I saw her as I didn't know that I would see her any time soon after this time. Well, after some truly frantic stitching, I'm pleased to say that I did manage it all for the 4th of March. I literally finished the fringing and ironed it with a bare half hour to go :shock: I did manage to take some pictures of the last panels though, so here are the updates :D (I couldn't let you lot go without pictures.... :lol: )

The last two main panels:
