Amost Caught Up...

It has been such a hectic month, but I have done some stitching. In fact, I got on a roll with tracing and then had some evenings where I sat and stitched. I really have been enjoying this project... and so glad I have you guys to keep me on track!

So, today I put the next row together and this is what it looks like now:


My only peeve is that on the left of the red checked sashing between the rows, it is crooked - the green line shows up, if that makes sense. Go ahead, click on the photo and see!! So, do I unpick?? Sigh... this is why I don't like using stripes and/or checks usually...

Other than that, I am loving it :) And the little penguin is done, just needs its sashing... photo another day...

Unfortunately once something catches your eye as not 100% it will always do so. Better to redo & well worth it cause it looks wonderful! Tracee xx

I think it looks fantastic but I don't worry about plaids/stripes like that, so like the others said, if it bothers you undo it.

Well, I don't see it and I zoomed in. But if it bothers you, you have to fix it. Otherwise, you will always regret it. I love the way it looks so far.
