Like a good little artist we decided to start the project where cross stitch is supposed to be started, in the center (this ensures that your piece is centered which is important when you go to have it framed!) That being the case we started with the lettering and we're quite pleased with it. Although it's funny that the "text" looks much smaller in real life than on our program.
Altogether I'm personally not a fan of backstitching, and while I understand it's purpose I like a full cross stitched letter more. Though in this case the purpose of the backstitching was to downplay the word so it didn't take away from the name that would be under it - which I feel was successful :D.
I think this was a great color choice and am much more pleased with the look of her name than I'd been when first choosing the "font".
