Thanks for all the nice comments everyone. To answer a couple questions, never lived in Scotland but grandparents from the Borders so wanted to meet relatives etc.
The thistle was just a drawing I found on the internet so enlarged it and traced it on heat'n bond lite. I did machine blanket stitch around the edges, and then I quilted around it so maybe that's why it looks a little 3 D in the pictures. Here's a close up as requested.
