Diamond Iris: Inside border


A rough picture here (ceiling lights showing on canvas).
.
As I said before to you, I counted 74 holes in mine instead of the 62 that were indicated on the instructions.
If you have a good look you can see that the Iris itself is pretty much centered inside the diamond shape and to me that was the most important thing to do.
.
You need to think that you will be stitching your border with a four thread upright gobelin stitch, two over my red line and two under my red line. making the leaves even a bit closer to the border than we see here.
.
We also need to think about the outside border. We can discuss that a bit later as we still have plenty of stitching to do before we get to this point like stitching the background inside that border, all around the Iris itself.
.
Let me know if you have problems.
