Directions

These are corrected directions to go with the new corrected diagram. September 14, 2009

  1. Wrap mari amd mark a C10 with gold.
  2. Stitch a five point star around each pentagon.
  3. Continue to stitch stars in the same order until the shapes fill in the space (8 rows on this one, 2 blue, 3 variegated, 2 green, 1 gold)

Notes

This is a thread eater design. It took about 12 yards of each color. I really like this design. I love the way the Dragon Hoard thread stitched up. (I think I'll have to get some more.) I can see a pattern investigation forming based on how the five point stars intersect and how much they intersect.
