Yes, you are far smarter than I - I'm using 1" hexes, so I'll be doing this for a long time. Good looking horse. My mare that I used to own was great to ride while my gelding was a real bundle of joy - he was very skilled at throwing his riders when he wanted to so I was always on guard with him.
Anyway, you can count on me to be here when you need a kick because I'll still be working away on mine, all by hand :D
Happy stitching, Ellena
