Finally finished the middle third. Happy to reach that milestone. Hoping the rest goes a little quicker.

That's so cool! It's like a subway map. It's not exactly the same on the back, I guess because there are layers.
Thank you for taking the time to share this.
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
Very neat. I appreciate you sharing and explaining.
