The last patch is the dark red patch in the upper center. It’s stitched in Reverse Open Diagonal Gobelin Stripe, below, using four strands of Gentle Arts Simply Shaker Floss in 7005 Old Red Paint.
I love the way this faded red thread and the slighty more intense painted red interact.
Next week, this stitch-along finishes up with the background.
