A new UFO to kill

An hour a week worked so well for me at the start of the year I'm going to try again with a new UFO, this time it's Charmed Hearts from Shepherd's Bush.
I bought this way back in the mists of time when I first started stitching and Shepherd's Bush was an even rarer find here than it is now at what was a good LNS at the time (these day's not so much they've gone expensive and stock more quilting fabric & knitting yarn now, the stitching stuff has gone quite basic). I got on fantastically well with it until I hit that outer border you can see and I could just not get it to work out so in the end it got put away in disgust (and after several bouts of swearing when it wouldn't play ball). Last year I got ExH to look at it for me as he has waaaaaay more patience for working things out than I have and he stitched it for me so it's time has come to be finished.
