METAGROSS

This is the next request from my Pokemon-obsessed Etsy customer.  I know that the blue that I used for Metagross is not prefect.  I did the best I could to find the perfect shape of what looked to me as a country blue.  I checked Wal-Mart, Hobby Lobby, and Michael’s to find the color with no avail.  I have included with this pattern the color list for both Metagross and Shiny Metagross.
