Thank you to all (again) for your lovely comments. I've finally finished! :whoop:

Took 3.5 years, 126,000 stitches, and 90 different colors. I'll be getting it custom framed here shortly.

Just catching my breath and trying to find adjectives that are awesome enough to describe this magnificent, beautiful, colorful, detailed masterpiece of impeccable stitching!

Congratulations on a breathtaking finish. And I don't think 3 1/2 years is a long time to stitch something as intricate as this is!
