Blocked out
This is it folks. I have to wait about three days now for it to dry out and it must be kept flat like this. It looks good at the moment but it was a bit scary at times when I removed it from the frame because some of the flowers were so heavily stitched that the linen puckered up around them, but it seems to have flattened out perfectly, phew! I am glad I am not making a full set of 17th century bed hangings though; imagine trying to block them out.......

it's very beautiful
Wow Lyn it looks beautiful, are you sure your not tempted to carry on and make a full set of curtains?
Thank you, I hope it makes up ok, been debating if it should be a cushion or maybe a firescreen, DH favours the cushion, perhaps he wants it for his sofa? Anyway, I have some wool left but not enough for curtains, ha ha.
