Flickr user Sewsew-a-Gogo made a large, detailed cross-stitch sampler inspired by the classic video game Punch-Out!!:
After about two years and almost 80,000 x's, my Super Mega Punch Out Project is finished. It measures about 12" by 28" so it's pretty big and I have yet to find a frame that will actually fit it. I really don"t want to spend $150 to custom frame it so I'm not sure where it's going to go yet. I'm kind of sad to see it finished because now I have nothing to do. :(

The cross-stitch pattern for it is available on spritestitch.com (http://www.spritestitch.com/?p=19). I've made the 'Mario Through the Ages' cross-stitch from there - nifty patterns!
