Instead of moving my Qsnap around after each block, I decided to hoop up an area and stitch as much as would fit in that area, then add the metallics before moving on. Below you see half of row 8, all of block 9, half of block 10 and half of row 12.
I like this method. I haven't added the beads. As I've had problems with them being caught in the frame, I'm going to wait until I've finished the whole thing before adding the beads - another couple of years then!
Here's how it's looking so far:

My word, how many more miles of it will there be??
wow! this just keeps getting better and better. didn't know it was big when you first started showing your work.
Wendy, this is more lovely every time I see it! I followed the link and found the patterns. Are there 17 blocks in all, or are more added as you go? I am just curious how large it will be (though, I think you may have answered that question in a previous post or response to a comment.) Your work is beautiful!
Beautiful! Unfortunately, I am still on block 2, so way behind you. I did get to stitch a little bit at guild yesterday, but I have to wait til I get my living room back so I have good lighting. I really miss stitching. I am doing mine on my Needle Needs bars. The lap stand worked really well on the table at guild. I hope to start using my floor stand once I get back in my living room.
I know I say this every time I see it... but it is stunning!
I love this!
Wow!! That is beautiful!! Stunning work, Wendy!

This is looking lovely Wendy. I think you've made the right decision to leave the beads until all the stitching is done. It's going to beautiful when it's all done.
this is definitely a wow piece

Wow--incredible work!
This is looking amazing, I hadn't realised that it was going to be so big. It will be stunning when it has it's beads on.
OMG, what a stunning embroidery project!
This is coming along beautifully! You've come so far since you fished it out for NQ back in May.=)
Your blackwork is looking amazing. You have a wonderful variety of stitches in this one.
This piece is stunning in photos so I can only imagine how it would look, in person.
This is looking very good Wendy and will be very impressive indeed when it's finished. What is it? A wall hanging? A tablecloth....?
