I started this in May 2015 and finished in December 2015, and did not work on it exclusively. It only has 11 colors, but is charted beautifully so it stitches up well. This is a good intro piece for those new to HAED; it also makes a good switch-up piece when you need a break from another HAED with lots of confetti. I stitched this 3x1 full cross on 18 ct. aida and am considering turning it into a bell pull. Overall, I am pleased with the charting and the finished product. (^_^)
