This week I've stitched a little.

And now

And yes, I've started in the middle. I always start my work in the middle of the fabric.

Wow you know.. I don't know if I could do that many colour changes..

It looks REALLY cool tho.. that's something I REALLY like..

I'm keeping my eye on this one.

EDIT:: Okay I just looked at thier website.... and WOW.. Good Googly Moogly.. I mean how can one's sanity be intact after doing one of those.. I found, however, 10 designs I'd love to do..

Well, I go slowly, very slowly. If not, my eyes....

And I use it for relaxing, without hurry :wink:

I would be VERY interested to see how the back looks.. ;) I'm a little OCD with the way my back looks...

I'll split this thread later, I would love to hear how you handle all the Color Changes..

:) No need to reply here, don't want to hijack the thread.. :)

I'll show you the back, but... it's no interesting :?

And I go with one colour while it's possible and there are more of this colour enough near. Then, I get other color... But in this design, sometimes it's only two or three stitches of every colour near.

(Sorry for my english :oops: )

Your progress is brilliant! You are really making such an amazing job of this. All those colour changes might make it harder to do but the picture looks fabulous!

This is looking wonderful! I understand about the constant color changes. My fractal is no where near as big (only 3 1/2" x 9") but has 78 colors in that small area.

It's the first time I work with so many changes of colors. It's a cuestion of habituate.... and to know it will be slow. But the result is gratifying :)

That looks great you really seem to be working fast on this. Keep us up to date, it is so fun to see it growning.

I also always start in the middle even when the pattern says different.

You're making great progress - such a lot of detail and different colours! It's looking lovely and your back looks really neat too! Keep up the good work.
