Not my preference, but I have a good reason.
The upper section is perfect for a box, but the bottom has too many quirks not to be seen. Since the quirks are in the corners, a drum or box wrap would hide them.
For this reason alone, I plan to finish Jane's sampler.
The deer's antlers will be another color as will the tree growing as a tail, for them to stand out.
And these guys that remind me of Virginie Cochepin, another should-be-seen corner.
So there you have it. Time to pick it up and return to stitching. I have the box bug now, will search the pile to see if something fits. If not, next project will be sized for them.
Damn.
Happy October?
Nope.

Happy October, Marly! Fantastic decision!
I agree that those antlers need to be a different color. I hope you enjoy this stitching and have the appropriate box for it.
Jane would be pleased, Marley...

For those who criticize those of us who "might" "sometimes" overthink things, there is a beautiful reward at the end: The right decision. I totally agree...those quirky corners need to be visible. Ah...sweet Virginie. She's still on my wanna-do list. You would have like the first two days of October in Nod... High 80's. What the heck??? ~Robin~
This is such a beautiful sampler Marly - glad the quirky corners will be visible (they deserve to be seen!!).
Glad you are finishing this beauty, Marly. I'm sure you'll find another piece that is perfect for a box finish. Enjoy the next few days--Saturday's weather looks miserable :(
