NOT FOR BEGINNERS!

This thing is HUGE! I don't have much time to work on this so it will take forever to finish. The printed fabric makes it easy to mindlessly work on while watching TV, and there seems to be a lot of thread in it, but I won't know until I get further. A few things to note.1. The colors of the printed fabric do NOT match the colors of the floss. They are meant to be a template guide to make it easier.2. You will definitely run out of thread if you don't separate the strands. This particular design is meant to be done with 3 strands, not 6.3. Some squares have multiple colors inside, which makes the parking method agonizing when there's a sting of that color that doesn't appear for a while. So there are many beginner needles that cut them off and don't use them for a while.4. Make sure you have a needle threader.5. Have several needles ready. I can't wait to see the finished product and will update when I'm done.
