WOW, I wasn't going to post this one again for awhile-as I know how boring progress pics can get...but I just had to show you what a
difference the back stitching is making on the quilt squares. I am REALLY pleased with how they look now and have enjoyed stitching on this today. I am going to stay with it awhile longer :)

The backstitching makes a huge difference. It's not boring at all. I'm always impressed when people make progress on large projects.
Persevere my friend!
I love seeing progress pics :) I always think its nice to watch a progect grow :) I agree that the backstitch brings this piece to life!
It's gorgeous!! I'm so looking forward to working with some of those floss soon.
Back stitching sure does make a difference.
Have a great weekend.
Beautiful Becky! I love Valdani threads. I had my eye on Spring Quaker at the Jubilee and almost bought it. Karen at RM does a fabulous job.
Happy backstitching...it all looks great!
It is coming along nicely Becky! I only got 2 large pieces framed in 2009 and this was one of them..I so enjoyed it...It took longer than most for me, but it makes me smile each time I walk by it!! Nice job, Faye
Wow is right!! The quilt squares really look different now! Very nice!! Hugs.
Wow, you're so right! A big difference! And those lovely fibers -- so pretty! Ah the colors! Wonderful, Becky! I'm glad you are liking the quilt squares more now.
Absolutely beautiful!!! I can't wait to see more!!
I'm glad you're feeling happier about working on this piece!
I HATE backstitiching but it always makes the piece. Yours is coming along beautifully.
The quilt blocks are really beautiful. They almost seem to glow. It can be amazing the difference the back stitching can make.
Gorgeous - I just love valdani colors :)
I don't always comment on blogs, but I must compliment you on this Becky. It looks absolutely BEAUTIFUL. You are such a quick stitcher too. I think I must procrastinate too much.
It's gorgeous! Mine is in cold storage, maybe I should take it out and work on it.
Hugs,
It´s really, really, beautiful!!!

Beautiful! Now I have to add this design to my 2011 stitching list! Just wondering if I should use DMC I have on hand or spring for the cost of the Valdani.
This is a really great piece. I have loved waching the progress. The colours are amazing. And, I think I wouldn't mind if you showed your updates everyday!
You are so right--it is really making it.
You know how much fun I'm having seeing this design work up. :)
Wow the backstitching really makes it come alive - well done it looks stunning. Michelle x
I am glad that you showed us a progress picture because that is a really dramatically beautiful difference!~! Thanks for your post.
Rosewood Manor...one of my favorites. Even the name sounds beautiful.
I had surgery last Monday, so I've had more time at home, and on my computer. :-) I just left Rosewood Manor's site to look at one I hope to stitch one day...Inspiration, and came to see what was going on at Becky's. What a coincidink!
I also have two friends who are working on these gorgeous designs. Always lovely to see; in person, or in progress!
"O"
Becky, this is just stunning! The colours are gorgeous.
This is so beautiful!

You really do beautiful work and your taste is fabulous. Thanks for the blogging I really enjoy reading.
Looks wonderful! Isn't it funny that no matter how long we have been stitching we forget how much difference the back-stitching makes?
Oh Becky, this is soooo lovely. Please keep showing your progress. I have this chart & hope someday to be able to afford the Valdani threads (if you're interested in selling the remainder of yours please give me a shout). Hugs, Barb
какая красота!!!!
