I've got the two pieces of fabric I mentioned on
July 12th, and
July 3rd painted and ready for stitching. I've posted details of both pieces. The blue "tiles" in the upper left corner differ slightly.
I think I'm going to stitch one painted side face out, and the other back side out. I won't be able to stitch them for a few weeks I think, but I'll post more about them when I do it.
