Sprite Stitch Board!

Forums arent as active as they used to be, but wanted to use this to post the progress I make on my first big stitching project.

What Im making is the in game maps of Johto and Kanto from Pokemon Gold that I spliced together in to one big map.

Meant to start some big projects for a while now, and finally got some materials to get me started for Christmas.

This map is gonna be pretty big (304x128 stitch-wise) so its gonna take some time lol, but I did get a decent chunk done over the weekend: I also attached the KG file if anyone is interested.

This is another project I always wanted to do before I got burned out on Pokemon lol. But I'm excited to watch it come together, so please keep posting your progress - even if the forums are a bit quiet, I'm here every day

This is going to be fun to watch grow! And thanks for sharing the pattern! Happy stitching!

Put alot of time into it over the last couple days. gonna commit and get the most boring part done next(the whole black double border, then pick back up where i left off.

Sounds like a great idea!

think ive been making pretty good progress on this. I decided i was really not happy with the grey color KG had given me for the path, so before i got any further i pulled out those like 1000 stitches i had done and replaced them with white which looks so much better. I did finish the black border which lets me really know how much work I have to do on this haha:
since then i did alot more work on the routes, and filling in that western sea. *almost* filled it out before i ran out of that strand.

Thats coming along really well

Took a little break to work on another short project but im back to working on this one.

Wanted to ask a question im a little concerned about.

So up to this point for green i had been using a thread that had come on a spool marked 702 in a big starter kit type deal i had gotten for christmas. I had finally run out of that and started using the 702 thread i bought from hobby lobby.
as you can see there is a slight difference. the storebought thread looks kind of dingy. its just a bit lighter than the other, which looks alot brighter and I like alot more.

my issue is I have no idea what color that green on top actually is, since i bought the same 702 and its a different color, and i cant just buy the same kit again for one stein of thread.

Should i just continue with this 702 i have? will it make the rest of my project look bad or will i really not notice? is there a way to determine what color that other green thread is?

Decided to just go with the slightly different color, and i think it looks pretty good:

It is looking fantastic!
