I'm getting there! The top is the front. Now to join with 4-stitch applied I-cord. Thanks to the workshop I did with Tricia Holman last year (Elizabeth Zimmermann's niece), I now know to work this from the back and to introduce extra rows when is seems to pull in.
Thought I would do a bigger skoleppar cushion before I go to France in May. Coming along nicely. Took a pix of the halfway stage. about 20 different lengths of colour hanging off it. Glad I had done smaller projects previously!
