Again, I added a border, but this time I needlepunched dyed wool fleece (roving) to black muslin (scrim). I cut it into strips and applied it log cabin style to the sample. Then I machine quilted it onto a synthetic felt dishcloth with programmed stitches using metallic thread to give it a bit of sparkle.

Using simple stitches; buttonhole, french knots and straight stitch I added a patterned border around the sample in the centre. Then I finished it off by buttonholing all around the edge.

The borders set both pieces off perfectly. Great idea!
Your answers to the problem of set aside works is wunderful and stimulating. I have a lot of embroided cloth as unfinished objects. Thank you!
