Marrakesh Tile in Light Blue

I haven’t had as much time for stitching the last few days, but I found time to finish another coaster. Last time, Marrakesh was stitched in red, gold and black. This time I used a pale blue and silver #8 perle overdye.

The pinwheel element was done in medium blue Splendor and the centers for the pinwheel were stitched using a silvery Needlepoint Inc. silk. It was a better match than the gray  Splendor I used in the sample last week (on the left). The final version is on the right. It looks all soft and cool compared to the first version done with red.
