The decision

 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.

I agree that those antlers need to be a different color. I hope you enjoy this stitching and have the appropriate box for it.

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 :(
