Serinde and Wendy, I love having your beautiful pieces as motivators and guides. I will keep posting to this thread (but might have to edit the subject for the update Dates, if that is okay with you Serinde since mine is just getting started). I hope that some of the others who are also in process (cairee, are you still stitching this one and jo, have you gotten started?) will stick with me. I finally got what seemed like the never ending border finished. My fault it took so long with more miscounting than I remember in a long time. But after triple checking and counting over and over to make sure that my squares have the same number of "holes" as in the chart (which I have to admit is not the easiest one for me to follow - but then I'm spoiled by Mabel's charts or maybe I'm just used to them) and have started with square #1. Will post that when its finished.

Sorry about the bad light on this photo.

Please keep your :x: that I don't have any problems with the cutting. Glad I have Mabel's squissors.

:whoop: :whoop: Yay you've started! I love that pink.
I must admit that the border was Tedious :doh: But having done that it's so easy to place the motifs...plus you Know that you've got enough fabric! :lol:

I've started the penultimate one...no photos at the moment as my camera/phone has gone on strike! :x I'll get D/H and his camera to photo the last few when I've finished.

Do change title as you wish to show updates...keeps it all 'active' I want to see Everyone's versions! :dance:

Wonderful start -- you'll be glad you have the border behind you, believe me! Mr :ribbit: and I made friends doing it, too, so you aren't alone there.

Feel free to change dates, etc: this is the SAL for this design, so reflects all of our work. :dance:

Thought I would post a pic of the first square before cutting. I actually messed up on the center set of Kloster blocks, and though I was able to fix it, I think, I am probably going to bring Mr. :anotherfrog: back in and restitch it before I cut since the thought of messing it up is more than I can deal with. And that will be a quick restitch.

thank you all for looking.
Wendy, I caught most of my mistakes anyway. But was able to hide and fix where I mis snipped. Good thing I don't have to show the back :oops:

I didn't realize how close our two colors are. I know yours is anchor and there is gray instead of white but so close. and then I'm alternating with the Ecru, which is close to Serinde's color choice. I wonder where I got the idea for my palette?

Just finished square one and starting square two. More pics tomorrow, I hope.

I'm flattered that you think I may have influenced your colour choice...even if it was subversively :wink:

Can't wait to see how the alternate colour motifs work out! :dance:

The back of mine is pretty messy too, but as long as there are no stray threads showing at the front...do I look bothered? :lol:

Excellent start, Carole. Lovely colours. I suspect another frog-fry is due, possibly in honour of Rose... Then perhaps he'd leave you be!

@WWW: a wily wombat will have her way, colourwise? :P
