Hello Mr. Frog

All cross-stitching is complete! 

Tree Frog Among Leaves WIP 10OCT13

 

Now on to the back-stitching.  Have you ever looked at a pattern and wondered if all or part of the backstitching is unnecessary, distracts from the overall picture instead of adding to it, or just might look better without it?  I'm sure that the backstitching to define the features on the frog are necessary, but the backstitching on the leaves might not be.  I think I will backstitch the frog and then remove the EZ-Count guidelines to get a good look at it without backstitching on the leaves and decide.

Happy stitching!
