How to make it yours

The chart maker opens with this picture already loaded. It is read from this site and charted in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
Old textiles have faded, uneven colors. Fewer colors (8 to 16) and a smaller width give a cleaner chart. Crop to one motif if you want a small piece.
