Yesterday was hectic so I only finished the silver lines in the plaid, couching a doubled line of #8 braid with a 1/16 inch length of the same Kreinik holographic silver. It is harder than you would think because the metallic threads catch other loose threads that are on the back and bring them forward, even if you think you had them secure. It also is hard to keep the 1/16 inch ribbon smooth as you work. I can see in the photo that there are 1-2 places where the thread twisted that I didn't notice. I'll fix that before continuing the silver lines up into the background.
Pat asked the in the Comments yesterday what I planned to do with the background. Wait and see....
