yet another Nordic hybrid

The sunburst embroidery over the top is final as to design, but two colors are still only approximate: the pinkish and greenish tints. I'm still recovering how warm or cool each was supposed to be and how much of the color to add to the base, having lost my canonical colors in a hard drive failure. Now that all the other colors are properly set there is context for evaluating experiments with them.
The proportions I settled on for the fields are at https://imgur.com/a/R7M9G and these should be considered approximate. Some of my last working notes on that:
Proportion of 55x89 is very nearly Golden, but the fly looks a little long.
55x83 is better overall, but the blue arms look too short.
59x89 now being tried. Nice overall proportion and nice size for the sunburst.
Not enough to increase the hoist, had to shift the cross toward the fly.
Now the sunburst seems a bit small.
57x86? Trim 1 from top and bottom, should put the sunburst at medium size.
Have found it's important to keep the inner purples about 4x5,
so trimmed 2 from fly end and only 1 from hoist end.
Sunburst size and distance from hoist are great, fly looks a little short.
57x87, restoring a row to the fly end.
