In an effort to finish a few things, I grabbed this piece out of the WIP basket - "Arthurian Places" by AuryTM. It was a kit, but the included materials looked NOTHING like the kit picture! It reminded me of those "is it white and blue or pink and gray" photos.... and the first time I photographed the finished piece, too much flash resulted in the same washed-out look. Rest assured that the fabric IS a lovely mottled pink!
I made a few small changes. The words are stitched with Waterlilies' "Royal Jewels" silk, because the kit floss - the one used for the inner scalloped border - was just too light on the dark pink fabric. I also added beads in the dark pink motifs, and stitched Rhodes squares on the corners. I'm not quite sure what I'll do with this yet. It is about 4 1/4" square, so it could fit in a 5" standard frame...or maybe I'll make some other sort of flat finish with it.

As you've suggested, I think a flat finish would look good.
