Cirque des Carreaux - an update


I've opted for a much smaller version i.e. 28 count, 1 strand DMC #3712, 1 over 1 on Monaco (evenweave) cloth. It's approx 9"x7".
My "OC" goal over the past few days was to have all the main background "blocks" sewn by last night and I almost made it. I just have 3 left to do on the left hand side. It reminds me of the Argyll pattern you find on sweaters.
The finished project is intended for our bedroom so I am planning on picking up a couple of colors from our bedspread for the rest of the design.

  4. I'm also "miniaturizing" Cirque de Carreaux. Mine is going to be on 32ct luguana over one...

    Haven't yet posted a picture of it (only gotten about 10 stitches into it) but when I do it will be at jackiesxstitching.blogspot.com

    I look forward to seeing how yours continues...
