Haven't had a chance to pattern it yet, but I wanted to get this image up asap to see if it was ok for you.

Had to draw the whole thing out again, pretty much. Importing it at this size *should* give you the dimensions you need (on 18ct aida, iirc)
The green background can be removed on patterning (makes it easier when there's whites!)

If someone wants to handle the pattern for me that's cool, if not I'll be back with a pattern as soon as I can!

I personally think that picture looks awesome, BMH! It brought up a question though, you said that you had to redraw it....what do you mean by that and what program do you use to redraw before importing it?

I use Photoshop CS4 at the minute. I resized the original image and it lost just about all the details, so I put them back in by hand (using mainly the pencil tool). So that's outlines and colours and stuff. It's pretty tedious work but the results are usually worth it.

I see! That's a good idea. I've just been cleaning things up in KG as much as I can, but it might be better to try it in photoshop first. The picture that you came up with looks really great and easier to turn into a pattern! It seems like doing that gives you more options......I always try importing pictures into KG and they just look terrible and blurry so I give up on turning them into a pattern. This gives me hope for more pictures

As promised, a pattern. Sorry it took so long!
