Thanks!
I only have the white areas left on my Bowser square...so close!! After that, I'll be able to start on the PvZ one! I'm so excited to do that one! And no black in site!!!
Of course, I should probably finish one of my Pokemon squares for that other quilt first...

You'll have to check with Crabbyman and the google docs (somewhere in this thread, lol) but I'm sure there's room for another helper...especially since a couple of people have had to pull out

My Fiance and I were both hoping to do this, but I don't think we'll have the time anymore. His brother's wedding is coming up, and then we'll be spending 2 months focusing on ours and finished the necessary arrangements, and then after ours, is my brothers.. then christmas shortly after that.

If we do this again for next year as well, maybe we'll be able to join in then.

I think there's always room for more!(as long as you're sure you can finish by August) Here are the links to the google docs so you can sign up wherever you want.
Misc.
https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key ... l=en#gid=1
Zelda
https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key ... l=en#gid=0
Final Fantasy
https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key ... l=en#gid=0
And here are the guidelines too.
16 count white/off-white (no colored) aida
6"x6" (96x96 stitches) working space
We need at least 4.5" border on each side so:
at LEAST 15"x15" total canvas size
Also, plan on sending at least $2-$3 per square to cover the cost of quilting materials
I can't wait to see this done, everyone's squares are looking great so far!

As promised, here's my latest finished square, FFX Shiva! (Needs to be washed etc but I will get around to that soon.)
137 colours, definitely my most ambitious square. I'm so pleased it's finally done - took me about 3 weeks of almost solid stitching and I managed to damage my shoulder while doing it :O
And...I've started my next square! FFVIII Rinoa

(There'll be pics when there's more to look at than a bunch of white stitches!)
Please let me know what you all think of Shiva. ^^

Wow, that Shiva is amazing! I can't even figure out how you got 137 colors on that little patch of cloth.

I completely agree. The Shiva is AWESOME! I am so excited to see these squares in person. I am itching to get started putting them together!

Mario's still the man, though

Most of the colours only had one or two stitches, all the changes made the back quite untidy lol.
