Cat's lovely Indigo Rose Four Seasons Round Robin. She stitched four boxes with a central diagonal band across each then we could choose a section to complete. I chose Autumn because I'm an Autumn baby and I loved the colours.
What I did not love is the frog that hid under the leaves! I really like satin stitch as a rule but this was a PITA. First of all I stitched one segment using the charted 3 strands. That was lumpy, bumpy and not smooth. So I frogged it. Then I used 2 strands which was smooth and lovely to behold. Until I'd stitched all five segments and found they didn't reach the top. When I looked again and counted and double checked I realised that you need seven stitches to cover six threadson the fabric, the seventh stitch being the outside edge of the block (make sense?). So out it all came again! I re-stitched and now it looks lovely again.
This one is spectacular, so different.

I really like this one! I own two of these for designs, and since the missing two can't be found anywhere, I guess I'll have to resign to just stitch what I have. At least I do have this pretty autumn one!
