So, yeah. I thought I had finished that cross-stitch of that Honcho magazine cover. Well. I started overthinking it.

Here’s the “finished” piece.

But then I got to looking at an image of the actual magazine. The cover doesn’t bleed off the edges. It has a border the same color as the HONCHO lettering.

This started to eat away at my soul a little, so I removed the back stitching and added a border around the image.

I like it a lot better now! All that is left to do is find a frame and hang it for my friends and adoring fans to admire.

Now, the big question is… what should I stitch next?
