Wow, this is fabulous Agi, you must be so pleased with how it's coming on.

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.

It is looking so pretty Agi, I feel so tempted to try this as well some time

This looks fantastic, i love all the colours and u have made wonderful progress, well done

Well done it is looking wonderful. You obviously have an excellent eye for colour mixes.

This is growing so much more quickly than I expected -- it's really impressive, and I love the colours you've chosen!

This is really looking beautiful. Love the colors.

Despite feeling a little bored...you're doing great progress on this one, Agi!

...and such brilliant colors! I love it's vibrancy!

Agi, I know what you mean about stitching the frame. But the insets are great fun!

Thank you all.
Serinde, have you started yours yet?

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? )

Pictures, pictures.... please!!!

This is beautiful, Agi, I love the colours you are using

This looks brilliant
Would you be able to list the colours you picked

Looks great - well done!

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...

Wonderful

This look great, i love all the colours. U are doing a great job and i cant wait to see the next update. Well done Agi

Agi, this is wonderful!!!
I adore the bright colours.
