Looks fantastic

Beautiful!!!!

So life-like and subtle. I love it.

It's looking good

Stunning as always I admire this one everytime I see it and it makes me want to stitch to create something just as beautiful myself

i didn't think there was anything worse than confetti stitching. now i'm thinking confetti stitching in 50shades of red might kill a person!! i can't believe your progress.

Fabulous!

Totally stunning.

Nikecam, the background is actually just made up of 4 main shades - a black, brown, purple & red. It's the skin tones where there's most confetti (and where most of the 90 colours come from!)

I don't think I'll ever want to see DMC 154 or 814 again after this project!!!

the red background area looks much more detailed. i'm always amazed at how seemingly nonsense patterns turn into so great designs when you step back.

Here she is with 3 & a half rows done! Quite a big update from last time but it's not that interesting to see more and more reddish background appear

I've reached her skirt now though so am hoping the background will gradually be less as it flares out towards the bottom

Louise

she looks lovely well done on reaching her skirt!

I'm truly speechless with admiration
Well done, and keep the progress pics coming

Wow, she's looking amazing and you've got loads done! It's a wonder there aren't black smudges on it from the smoke coming off your needle! Looking forward to seeing her skirt develop now.

She's coming together at such a fast pace! Beautiful work, lots of lovely update photos - thanks!

she's looking stunning!
