I was pleased with the printed textile, design process and the quality of the finish

The background detailing, line and colour was as expected and matched the Photoshop image

The watercolour brush marks were clearly visible as well as the pencil/pen line throughout the repeat design 

The whole repeat design process from the beginning to the end significantly extended my understanding of the repeat process
