Ancient Rose Design overshot pattern, Marguerite Porter Davison

As a newer weaver, it's a challenge to center a weaving draft and add borders.  The Ancient Rose Design, p. 140, begins with a half rose.  I'd prefer to begin with a complete circle rose pattern, so I am redrafting the pattern in the Bronze demo of Fiberworks.  So, I drafted the pattern as written and figured out where to begin my pattern, and redrafted it.

I'm adding borders, too, so I played around with various threadings and treadlings.  I got a great hint from a FB weaving group to repeat a section of the draft several times that you like.  So, I am repeating a section that I like, and I think it will weave out nicely.  It will eventually be a table runner.
