The photo above shows blocks 13-18 which is half done. I had already stitched block 13 and half of 14 and 15 so you can see that I've basically stitched an entire row (made up of 4 blocks), but in two halves.
This is blocks 14 and 15 with half of 16 below.
and this is block 17 and half of blocks 18 and 20. I said in the last check in that I was half-way through, I was so wrong, I'm nearly done, which is what I think is responsible for the sudden burst of activity on this projects. There are 24 blocks in total which means I have to finish the row I'm on and there's one below, then it's just going back to stitch on the beads!
Here's the entire piece so far. Yes, it's huge!
