Wow, this is looking fabulous! You are doing an excellent job! I did a pattern ONCE with blended stitches and said never again. Keep up the good work!

That is looking so good and I understand the blended colors are a pain to use. I really don't like blended threads. :applesauce:

Lovely colours, and I like seeing a closeup of the blending -- what a lot of work, but worth it!

Looks wonderful CF. :applesauce:
I'm not too keen on blending myself - there's quite a bit of it in my sepia pictures.

I love working with blended threads, the effects can be fantastic. I was also very impressed by the quarter stitches. It's all so neat and tidy. So effective!
