My goal was to complete this brick stitch project before Battle on the Bay so I could display it on their "A Year in Display" table. I'll probably put my first brick stitch project on their "Novice Attempts" table:
While the brick stitch is basically done, I still need to work on turning it into a book cover as I had intended.
This project was started around the endish of 2017, and I would estimate it took about 90 hours of work, 20-30 skeins of cotton embroidery floss, two pairs of scissors, and four embroidery needles. (I have a habit of bending those.) And one Ciosa.
Here's the close-up of one diamond, to give an idea of how many stitches went into this piece:
Pictures to follow of the completed book cover!
