Oh wow! This has to be up there with HAED for sheer complexity. It's a fabulous design - very good luck in making it happen. Please keep us posted.

thanks guys its been going really well, then mr :ribbit: reared his ugly head in a big way ended up very carefully cutting the stitches out down to the fact that its a nightmare to frog when its confetti stitches. it ended up being a 9 by 20 stitch area i had to take out so was not a happy :kitty:

I guess I meant the design reminds me of some of the HAED charts. But I'm guessing this project is 2 over 2 whereas of course HAED is over one, so in that sense this would be a good prep piece to do. Whatever the technicality, it's still a lovely design and you'll do a beautiful job. :D
