About this pattern

A rectangular frame border, stitched solid: twenty pink diamonds on a sage green band, alternating deep pink with a pale center and pale pink with a deep center, each outlined in dark green, with a dark green line along the outer and inner edges. All four corners are worked. The middle is left bare, 47 by 27 stitches, with room for initials or a small motif of your own. It uses four thread colors.

73 stitches wide by 53 high: 2,600 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Blue Green 502, Very Dark Blue Green 500, Light Salmon 761 and 1 more).
