Well, it is done. I have put a meandering design in the border. The centre is SID. I think I made it more difficult for myself as the backing is towelling and didn't slide very smoothly. I will have to see about the gloves - they might be a good idea.
I will put the binding on this evening and take a photo tomorrow.
Thanks everyone for the help and encouragement.
P.S. Not an early bird. We are on GMT +1 here.
