So. as I said, I had started putting this together with Solvy a few years ago.
I had started free motion "scribbling" on 3 of the squares. I used the wrong thread and didn't like the outcome. This morning I unpicked the stitches, reconfigured to 3 rows of 4 squares and decided to use one of the machine's embroidery stitches instead. I liked the stitch but after I had put in the stitches, I realized the shape of the stitches not on the fabric had nothing to hold their shape. So I stitched over them with a straight stitch (because it wouldn't unravel when the Solvy got washed away). Not totally enamoured of it but here are the steps.
Stitched on Solvy.

Hanging to dry.
Note to self, don't used variegated thread on this type of work.
Doubt if I will get to the weaving segment today but every day a little progress is not bad.
