I took a little time out from class work this week to finish this piece.
It has been edged with buttonhole stitch, two rows, which finishes it well I think.
I'm not sure what will happen with this going forward although I am tempted to create another, similar piece and join the two.
The base of this is lace cloth and the patchwork pieces sit on scraps of silk velvet as do the various hand stitches, the bullion knots and French knots.
