First image, lowest Seam running left to right.....29 inches, 101 Bullion knots.Each bullion knot has 35 wraps......that makes a grand total of 3535 wraps. I need a lie down! In truth it was a pleasure, an exercise in relaxation and methodical stitch. I would go so far as to add meditative to that too but I still feel as if I want to say ''wow''.....I do this daily, nightly, hourly and never think about the numbers, the wraps, the knots.....it's almost automatic, eyes shut, lost in thought and moving my fingers without thinking. If I were to set you some homework.......count your stitches, count your wraps be they on French knots, bullion knots, cords...anything. Just do it and amaze yourself.

This piece is almost finished. There is a small square in progress for the final corner and then it can be backed, more pockets can be slipped into seams, titivation's for the edges can be considered and then it can be backed. The other day I spoke about this (the small check gingham option in pale grey) for the backing. I have changed my mind. I will take a few days to chose something else....I am leaning towards white. (no surprise there then)
