Izzy it looks fantastic!!! :clapping: Love the colors!

I have a WIP... will hopefully post it tonight!

EDIT: Here is my WIP. Big Boo is to be done in shades of blue/grey. However, I'm not sure if I like the program's choice of Ecru for the main body of the tiny boos. What do you all think? Should I go for a more white color, or stick with Ecru? :confused:

Hey, right nack at you jadely, your patch looks amazing - great work on the background!

As for the small boos colours - I guess this depends on how fussy you are with matching colours. Looking at the colour closely, the white was a little off-white/grey, so I would recommend 3756 for it. I think it would work better with the grey shadow on the little Boos rather than Ecru.

Hmmm....I'm with you. I think it may be better to go with a more white color. It's a tough call though. Picking the correct colors is always the toughest thing xD

And as for my EarthBound square, after discussing it with my friends, I made up my mind to do the Wall of Thoughts square:

I'll be starting on it once I'm done my Zac from Zombie's Ate My Neighbors stitching, which may still be a month or two away from being complete, but either way, it'll be done way ahead of time. And I've already bought the aida for it :peach

Jadely - I don't think it's going to matter what you pick, it'll be awesome regardless. :D

I think I agree with your recommendation... something was just off. Will repost a pic after I redo the thread work this weekend!

And thank you for all the complements! Can't wait to see more people's squares!

Seeing other people's squares makes me feel more motivated and makes me want to stitch more squares! (although I'm incredibly slow at making patterns...)

Anyway, here's my work in progress. I would be done, if I hadn't had to knit two scarves and stitch a bib and a burp towel... Babies keep coming and they're not even mine yet! :grin:
