Hey! So I found the image I wanted to use to make a pattern for a charity quilt square. It's the first time I've ever tried to make one. I attached the image below(I found it via google). I cut it to 96x96 pixels, centered around the boxer and trainer. Then I fed it into KG. I saved the pattern I made as a pdf, I've attached it as well.
The first thing I learned is do not trust KG for colour selection. It lies. Now when I look at the pattern, it just looks . . . off. I don't know if it's me or what. So I'm asking for some help and suggestions. Can I trust this pattern? Is anyone willing to do the colour selection for me?
Cheers and thanks for any help!

Re: Punch Out Charity Square Pattern Request
Here is the image I've come up with. Scaling the image you gave was not going to work for the size required for a quilt square, so I cropped it down. If you are happy with this, I have included the KG Chart pattern, as well as the PDF of it.
This is what it will look like stitched: Here are the files:

Thank you SO much! The pattern looks perfect, I can't wait to start.
Can I trust the colour chart? or do I need to pick the colours myself?

Sometimes you can and sometimes you can't... KG Chart does tend to mess with colors, so make sure you double check them to be sure they look right. For images like this though, you can usually trust them. Most older 8 bit video games usually come out ok because the colors were limited.

Thank you so so much! I really appreciate the pattern. Truly! I can't wait to start! But I have to wait at least another four days because I'm at work.
