I definitely have not asked for donations, don't feel like you need to head to the bank to send me one. I just appreciate it when people do, so wanted to say thanks. :D

Quick update 5th square done and 6th started and about a quarter of the way done.

I'm not exactly happy with how the 5th one came out...colors were way to dark and even I can't tell who the character is supposed to be. :cray: :banghead: So I might just do a different one if I have time....we will have to wait and see.

Oops! Sorry I was in such a hurry to get it in the mail I forgot my manners! Glad to hear it made it safely.

I'm back in a brand new appartement and with a brand new Internet connexion!
And guess what? I've finished the Parodius square! Yay! I spent whole days stitching it so that I would finish it on time!

And guess what? I think it still does not meet the size requirement.... I wanted to compare it to the failed Valkyrie Profile square and I found out they are the same exact size...

See for yourself :

(Sorry for the crappy quality, my camera is broken so I took the picture with my crappy cellphone, hence the crappy result...)



And here is another version with the tape measure underneath :

[The extension bmp has been deactivated and can no longer be displayed.]


And I'm really angry because when I ordered the 16ct count fabric, I double-checked, I even triple-checked that it was really 16ct and not 18ct. I still have the bill that says 16ct on it!

I don't have time to start another square since it takes 20 days to travel accross the world and it won't arrive on time and I'm not in the mood anyway!

I'm very sorry everyone, I wanted to help but I just succeded in failing... twice!

A big thanks to Servotron who made the pattern for the Parodius square and I have to say that you did a wonderful job!

You have no idea how paranoid this story makes me... That really sucks and I feel for you. On the plus side, they could easily be made into pillows.

@Myu Are you sure these are completely wrong? They might be able to be stretched after they have been washed. Tnitnety should know as she has done this plenty of times before.
