Dragonfly Painting - No Backgrounda Cross Stitch Pattern by Artecy Cross Stitch

This pattern has 53 colors for an 18x18, on 16count. That's insane because many of the colors are so similiar, it makes it very hard to keep up with on the pattern. This would still be a beautiful dragon fly with about 1/2 the number of different colors. I started the project on 7/26/24 and work about 3 hours a night on it and I haven't gotten very far at all. Super disappointed and really don't think I'll finish it and the cost of Aida and floss is a real bummer. First disappointment in a pattern from y'all.
