The overskirt is finished

Isn't this just rich and so kingly? I used Kreinik 033 blue braid and did a Scotch stitch variation in the center of all the openings. Then I used the 002HL gold to work tent stitches all around the Scotch stitch creating each of the squares. Last, one long stitch is done with the same gold from the top right of each box down into the fourth stitch of the Scotch. I also worked a little more of the basketweave at the bottom of the skirt.
