Is This Right?

Am I actually finished?!  Yep!  Last night at 11:50 I put my last stitches in Paradise!

Here's last time:
 

Then I added the darker green:
 

And finally the light green!
 

Here's the grand reveal:
 
 

I finished the last color all in the same night.  Of course it took longer than I thought!

I also did a 5k for my school early Saturday morning
 

I finished on just under an hour because I walked the whole thing.  I definitely need to work out more.  

I'm not sure what I'm going to start next but I need to get some fabric for the bewitching pixies.  I really want to do them on an opalescent.  I have 3 large projects I've had on my mind so we'll see what I choose :). I'm sure I'll have many new starts in the next few months.

Thanks to everyone who stuck with me through this project and encouraging me to keep going!  I'll see you all next time!

    Aaaa, YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! I think I watched this whole thing grow; it's been amazing! Do HaED patterns still qualify for a freebie if you finish one? Also your 5k finish picture is so perfect for this post lol.

    Happy Dance to end all Happy Dances! What an awesome finish and we've been with you for so long! I can't remember when I came in but I've loved following your progress. Especially the last few posts where you've been adding one colour per photo.
    You should be very proud of yourself for this epic piece.
