Fabrics Chosen and Backgrounds Cut

I am ready for this SAL to start.   I have picked out my fabrics and have cut all of my back grounds.    I have decided that I will enlarge each stitchery a little bit, so that my wall hanging is a little larger that the one shown in the book.   

I am getting excited about starting this one.

Great colors...I can't wait to see the bigger stitcheries...it would certainly be better if doing the pillow.

I thought about enlarging mine as well. Then changed my mind and went for fabrics from my stash...and didn't have enough to enlarge. Maybe I'll make two!
