Hey buds. Been through this before, can't remember, too lazy to look through old posts. The large solid block of 500 with ecru sheep is next and if I do the light floss first, the dark thread will only be pulled through along the edge.

Stitching the dark first will require the ecru to be pulled through it along edges also, but the interior of the sheep will be stitched with that floss and the more it goes through the dark, the more it will pick up fuzzies from it. Maybe not that noticeable, but once done....too late.
Maybe stitching the ecru sheep outline first, then using a clean piece to fill in would prevent that. Yep, that should work.

You are speaking Greek to me!
Think you're onto something. Trying to stitch the light sheep onto the dark background would give you bad fuzzies, but trying to count out the spaces for the sheep would be a royal pain.
I *think* the consensus is to stitch the light color first. Generally. Except when... ???... when that isn't working?
So relieved you didn't really ask for our opinion after all since I know I was in the minority....perhaps the only one who suggested the opposite of what everyone else opined and you went with. 😉 I just finished up white-ish and red bricks...started one way and finished the other and I see no difference. But then, I don't have your eye for stitching minutiae.... As someone supposedly said, "ignorance is bliss." ~Robin~ (How'd things go today??? Been thinking about you all day....)
