I'd applique it on the back of a denim jacket and wear it. It's gorgeous and you did a wonderful job. People love to see things like that so why not show it off?

Great work. Well done. I think my machine (and me) would have had a nervous breakdown. Sarah.

A lot of work here - maybe you can frame it or make a pillow out of it.

Incredible. I have yet to do anything over 16,000 stitches. I must admit I have been looking at it for awhile. Thanks for sharing it! LLDS!

It is so beautiful but I think I would have trashed it or stopped my machine for a while I do that a lot when It takes a long time

Have to admit that I'm not patient enogh for those kind of designs :-)
I have some beautiful designs from emblibrary that have also a very high count of stitches, colors and thread changes that I must have cause I love the design but never will stitch them (or just when I can afford a 16needles-machine ;o)

Do you have a friend with a fish tank? That will be a pretty gift for him/her in a frame :o)

I downloaded this recently ... and after your explanation will probably never stitch it out. It is beautiful, though. I was going to make it for one of my daughter's pediatrician's rooms. It's decorated in fish!
