    It has turned out so lovely Marilyn!! I love how you put a blade in between! That is so cool! If it were me I would try several layouts and then choose the two you like the best. Then decide which one strikes you the most. It is a matter of what look are you going for?

    I liked the 4 blades you had in each corner at the bottom. I agree if they are in floral like the center that would be pretty on all four corners.

    Round would be interesting too. You should be able to starch it to keep it's shape. Or you could use a metal circle or a wooden embroidery hoop sewn on the back to attach it to to keep the round shape. I would only use the center part of the hoop if I did it that way.

    You could frame it also. If you did that you could pull it tight to mount it.

    Just some thoughts.

    i think you were right the first time--the gold sets it off! [well, you know what they say about opinions]...i think it is helpful to take a step back from it
