This is a Dimension Gold Kit. Includes 18-ct Aida cloth, floss & metallic thread. Finished design is 11 x 14 on this fabric, and one reviewer said she ran hot of several colors & had to phone Dimensions.

Can't find design count anywhere, but 10-ct would be much larger, and need new fabric, floss, & metallic fibers.

I just did a rough calculation and it would seem you'd need a piece of 10-count fabric 34" wide by 54" tall (this included a 3" border around the finished piece but you may want to go an extra 2" to make a total of 5" for the border around the design). You will need to stitch this with the entire 6-strands but it should be beautiful when you're done. This is a rough calculation so please check with where you purchase the fabric. I do think you will need to purchase more thread (both color and metallic because there is usually only enough, with a small amount leftover, to do the design in the suggested dimension. Good stitching!

I really don't think you would want to do this pattern in that large a piece of Aida cloth. Doing it in the 12" x 14" size that is stated in the directions is pretty large and the flowers would really stand out. That is what is nice about cross stitching it can be adapted to whatever you want.
