The fabric next to it will be the backing fabric for the ornament finish. 

 The original was charted so the small design in the centre was stitched over 1 on a separate piece of fabric and then put into a tiny frame attached the main design.   But as I don't have a tiny frame, 
I stitched it direct on the fabric and added a little gold backstitched frame around it.
