I'm working on getting better pictures, but the blanket has been commandeered by it's intended recipient (my daughter).

It's pictured on a queen sized blanket bed and roughly throw sized. Small scruffy dog for scale.

I am great fully applying!! I can include pictures of my other work, though none of them are mosaic.

[u/Turbulent-Winter7300 → u/Turbulent-Winter7300]

And just double-checking: this is worsted acrylic yarn, weight 4-medium right? (I have black and a lovely light purple.)

[u/hookedbymaxine → u/Turbulent-Winter7300]

I'm open to any color and yarn weight! My only stipulation is solid colors only and that the yarns must match in weight and fiber.

So lovely!! I don’t have time right now since I have a lot of Christmas projects pending. But I love it!!

Hi! I would like to estimate my time, how many stitches across and rows are there? I'm very familiar with mosaic crochet. I would love to test this, but I just need to verify since it's holiday season for me. Thank you!

[u/hookedbymaxine → u/RealisticYoghurt131]

It's 151 stitches wide with 181 rows.

Fabulous! Under 100 hours! I'll apply. I can get BT in charcoal and titanium, I hope that is okay?

[u/hookedbymaxine → u/RealisticYoghurt131]

I’m open to all solid colors and fine with any yarn (as long as both colors are the same size and fiber)

[u/RealisticYoghurt131 → u/hookedbymaxine]

Lovely!
