For the background, does the whole 64x64 area need to be filled in?
:D

No, not if you don't want to!

It is quite small, yes. I didn't want to make it too big as you only have a month for each part and I know that sometimes backgrounds can be hard to do in a short time.
I hope you can find a way to fit things together!

If we do fill it all in, and usually for backgrounds you need to, that is 4,096 stitches. That'll take some time! :D Just had to do the math... it always sounds so impressive. :grin:
This is a fabulous, crabulous idea. All hail blackmageheart! :BM

I have done a couple of pieces that exact size, took me a week each, casual stitching :P

I'm glad people like it. I was kinda worried that it wouldn't take off :blush:

Does anyone have a conversion table for BMH "casual stitching" rates to normal people stitching rates? :P
Mostly hibernating here. Find me on Twitter @rmdcade.

Oh man, I finished my pattern but clearly was too excited to read to the bottom of the first post. It is twice too big. :banghead:


Now I'm trying to choose between just doing it anyway and being "ineligible" but awesome, or coming up with a completely different idea.

This made me lol. Such a thing surely does not exist! :P

I do think that 4096 stitches can be done by anyone in a month, easily. You'd only have to do 136.5 stitches every day in June! :grin:

No way you can just crop the design down? Sounds like you have a good idea, and I'd love to see it entered.

So for part one I was thinking of using a character that is also holding an item/weapon... is that kosher?
