Second Layer Completed and More

I managed to finished the second layer of the Octagon border. I was also able to finish the back-stitching that went in between the two layers.

Two layers with back-stitching

A closer look

I really enjoyed stitching with the #8 Perle Cotton and I love the shiny effect it gives. However, by the third octagon I was really ready to move on to other things.

I've already started the last layer on the Octagon border, this time it's the Tent Stitch. Hopefully, I'll have pictures by next week.
