The result is a slope of the slanted line that’s much steeper, while the number of step units is the same as the first chevron on Day 21.

In fact, as my daughter was admiring this Bargello design, she suggested that I save it for such an occasion. I politely said, “No, I can’t wait until then; that’s 21 more days into the future!” Her response was, “You could always stitch it again in an assortment of red colors.” My response was, “That’s against the rules–a different design for each day (smile)”.

I’m fortunate to have such committed and engaged family members!
