Brisk. That is a really nice job, the St J pops, simple color combo but it really pops. The way you closed is perfect, you added another dimension closing with the sequence the way you did. Very nice, this is my favorite out of the wraps you've done so far.

Thanks guys, I stole the color combo from one of Billy's wraps. Steve I didn't close the St Johns in a conventional method. I took a key from Steven Paterson, he showed how to do this on another forum. Basically you finish the St Johns Cross with the red thread that you see in the photo. After that you start to form the diamond pattern in the middle of the opening that is left. I wrapped the diamond out from the center and out from the edge of the St Johns Cross and it formed the closing pattern that you see. It is hard to explain with the written word and would take about 5 minutes to show how to do it. This would be a good one for Billy to put into a DVD, it would be much simpler to figure out if you could see it done. Thanks again for the kind words Mark.
