Thank you.

Just one little piece of information: I used Rosace 7492 for the violet. It should be equivalent to DMC 3746.

Yes, Threadbear, generally I am pleased with it, although my choice of yellow-gold doesn't really show in the fourth part, next to the subdued orange (or rather peach), but that's how it is. I hadn't seen this piece when I chose my colours. No way I am frogging any of the colours now! (Thinking of adding some beads to the golden parts at the end for more sparkle, but this will have to be seen.)
Also, for those who are thinking of doing it: the borders are a bit boring to do :( I try to do small pieces a time, and don't go on before they are finished for a section, so that is an encouragement for me to keep stitching :) At the moment I can hardly wait to start the bird, I think that is the next part.

Yes, I have. Just about finished the top left insert. It looks far more complicated to stitch than it is (thank heaven!). I'm quite pleased! Did change my colours a bit, though (the blues and the orange, oh, and the purple... actually what did I keep the same? :roll: )

If you go back to page 2 of this thread, there are the colours listed, all but the lilac. That I chose later, it's Rosace 7492, that should b equivalent of DMC 3746. There is also a link to Serinde's colours - but she hasn't posted a picture yet.

I am almost done - with what they published so far, that is... I hope I will be able to finish some more of the border before the next update. They will publish the little squares sometime next week.

And a close up of the last two parts - a little purple (or lilac or violet or whatever colour) is missing...
