I finished a larger section this week. I used 9 different colors to achieve this feat. It helped that I could do more than 2 stitches with each of the colors. Though I did my last flower center (I hope) of 1 stitch each of yellow and orange.
Next week will probably be an outline/backstitching week. In looking over the pattern it seems I will not even have to fudge the meetup of the portions because they actually do not meet with crosstitches, just with an backstitch (and I think I am only off by one stitch - this seems miraculous to me).
