Working clockwise


Stitching merrily away with the gold floss, I finished the framework of the third quadrant on the Zellig tile design.

After filling in the deep red and medium blue sections in this area, it was time to celebrate with a new thread for the background: DMC floss #822, an ivory shade. To remain consistent with mosaic stitches, it was necessary to move the blue "floating triangles" over and down one thread before stitching the background.

Once I finish the gold framework, it will be decision time on how to stitch the brown inner framework.

This is gorgeous! Now I'm wishing I had started one - may have to do it eventually after you and Jan work out the glitches so I won't have to think.
