We will definitely do it again next year. The requirements will be exactly the same except I will specifically say no metallic thread and every block must have a full stitch. So if you wanted to get started on next years, go ahead!

At last! I'm terrible at keeping deadlines but I stuck to my guns and finished them both. I just needed to get a picture of them and I'll put them in the mail tomorrow. This has been so much fun and it's for a good cause, I'm definitely doing another one next time! Plus it's weird how after all this time stitching I still manage to learn a little something new with each project.

I litteraly have one stitch left on the Spyro square - then it's going to get hand washed before I send it off :) This is going to be one awesome quilt!

Still haven't mailed my square since I've been a bit strapped for cash for postage (and for including a bit of moneys for supplies and whatnot) - it'll go into the mail tomorrow, I promise =)

I was going to mail it on my way back from the grocery store but it was too hot to leave the ice cream in the car
So instead I'm going to mail it on my way to work tomorrow.
I have some minor marks on my white fabric

I didn't want to spend a long time treating them because I don't think any of them will be an issue but it still worries me!
Finished Spyro patch - I ended up adding two colors...

the black cotton thread I used to mark out the number of squares left marks on the fabric. I can't tell if it's fuzz or actually dye >:( you can kind of see it in the photo in places.

It'll just be fuzz, that happens most with black and red thread. Should just come off with a wash or two. Even if it doesn't I don't think it will be seen once it's added to the quilt.
