Yes it is my stitching frame it's just a 11x11 Q-snap and a cover made for it so you don't get the oils from your hands on your work! I love it and you can buy them for all sorts of sizes of Q-snaps here:

I have one for every size of q-snap i have!

I think Gamerrwolf gets the BMH stitcher of the 2012 charity quilt award for the most squares! How many did you have last year BMH 6?

I am finally done my square! I thought I was finished about a week ago, and then when I went to take pictures I realized one single stitch was missing. Today has been my first chance to sit down and figure out what colour it was (because there are 77 colours in this piece... remind me not to do that again next year!)

Credit for the pattern goes to StitchPlease. The only things I changed were the skin tones. I got about halfway through Layton's face and it was so yellow... I debated for a long time before ripping it out and going to the store with the booklet from the game to pick my own colour. That's entirely KG-Chart's fault though, because it looked fine on the pattern.

Will be express shipping it ASAP to make sure it arrives on time! I took a bunch of pictures and none of them really do it justice, but here's the best one of the lot:

Yeah A LOT of mine had that many colors! the one that had the least was the Yoshi's Island square and it had 40.

GREAT job on your square! The skin tones are great good choices....KG often makes people look yellow....dunno why.

Now I'm curious to know how many colours you used in each square! :D

Mine were very different! Ecco had 22 and Ivy had 245. :swoon:
