So I only have the backing to put on - which should be really quick, yes? Having said the other day that I only had 3,000 stitches left to complete, I was suddenly consumed with the overwhelming desire to work out how many stitches are in the whole blanket. I'm a bit of a maths geek at times.I've made it roughly 171,630 stitches altogether - but that doesn't count all the Swiss darned ones - the geekiness had got up and left by this stage!
It has to be said that I am not pleased with the way it was put together - those 2 green flowers next to each other on the 3rd from bottom row will annoy me forevermore. Why did I put them so close? However, just as I refuse to frog, I also refuse to unpick, so they will stay there now.
And if anyone complains, then tough!

It's lovely, and I wouldn't even have noticed the green flowers till you mentioned them!
Oh Missus Stash you are a marvel. 171 bazillion stitches is making my arms ache just thinking about it.

It is gorgeous - fantastic job, Michaela! And I think the two green flowers look perfect just where they are :)
I am more than a bit impressed that you even noticed the two green flowers being close to one another - the blanket as a whole is SO damned beautiful! MUCH better, and much more useful, gift than the Golden Gate Bridge :)
It looks beautiful and I can't imagine anyone would notice the two green flowers together... unless of course you keep pointing them out!
wow - phantastic... but I know the feeling. Hope you will get over it.
Gorgeous!!! It looks absolutely perfect!
It's fabulous and your parents are very lucky to be getting such a gorgeous gift! Lucy x
Beautiful! x
That is marvellous!
Your blanket is such a work of love and beauty! ;) The closiness of the two green flowers (third row) should not annoy you that much. I am admirative. ;)

I'm sure your folks already know (having reached their golden wedding) that very beautiful things emerge from thousand upon thousands of small acts and how not to let any slight hiccup ruin the beauty of the entirety.
I would never have noticed the green flowers.
its amazing and i'm sure will be much treasured!
