The speckles in the fabric are actually just the chair showing through from the flash; the black looks very solid and nice in person.

Looks fantastic!

Thanks! I used my new mat cutter to cut a tan mat, and a 12 x 16 frame from Hobby Lobby gives me this:

I dyed some 18 count aida navy for the Star Road map!

It's not quite the blue that 791 would have been, it's closer to 311, but it looks pretty close to the color on the screen so I think it will be fine.

Out of all the maps for this project, this is the one that I'm looking forward to the most.

[Yurtle]

Me too!! It's going to be awesome!

Oh gosh, this is making me so happy! (And making me really wish I could do this. haha)

Update: almost done with the center column! I'll scroll to the left next and finish that half of the star I think, then the right half, then I'll do the cloud edges last.

Update; been a while on this one, since I switched over to a charity quilt square and some other projects. Got some good stitching done today though while watching Game of Thrones.
