Ok, so a couple weeks back I saw a post with this project on it. I'm not really a cross-stitch person, but this was too cool to pass up. I ended making it at about half scale since I couldn't find the right gauge fabric, I made a few other changes as well. Here it is all finished, now I just have to figure out how to frame it.

And if any of you feel inspired, here's a link where you can find the plans to make your own.

Updated Feb. 02: I forgot to post the completed project so here it is. I ended up buying a handheld matte cutter and mounted this along with another piece I had (non-cross stitch).
