That is just fabulous! Is the gold colour on the chart done in metallic thread?

Really enjpy stitching it and yes there is matalic in there. Two lighteffect colours. I am doing them a little at a time and they are working out fine, thanks to thread heaven.
The pattern is really easy to read but my god it's huge. At least 2ftx3ft and really hard to handle --I am going to have to go to a printer to get it copied again-it's way to large for my printer-my copies are terrible (parts missing so I have to refer to the original which rips easily). Two others on another forum are doing it too and we all have the same complaint about the size of it.
But there are lots of colour blocks and very few confetti stitches.
The background is in 1/2 stitches and the border is like blackwork.
