Thanks! There are 20 colors. No real regrets. I probably should have waited on doing a couple of the stitches as I put them there before there was really anything to help tie them down. Super glad there's no back stitching. I really don't like back stitching.

I'll have to keep that in mind. I am using 310. I don't notice it too much looking directly at it. I almost can't fathom using 4 strands. Especially as much as the pattern calls for. 😅

Yeah the crossing happens on the front so depending on how you're stitching it'll look different on the back. If you're doing a large block of color you tend to do all the slashes in a line one direction and then cross back over on the way back. That leads to the rows of straight up and down lines. If you're crossing individual x's you'll get more of a corner looking shape

My daughter and I have been playing through the remakes, so this will be for her when it's done. It's been fun reliving some nostalgia combined with a new feel. And yeah, the colors definitely jump around a bit.
