First thing to do after sowing is to colour Both half's of your drawing with the color you choose I prefer green it matches the drawing then I hope you still have that thread of yours because in a straight line sow the end of both green sides remember under up you honestly can choose

You then get mainly to the most important part mapping I mapped out all famous culture in Nigeria also using the map of Nigeria to create this and placed them on the green sides just to mix it up a little you can also go with the normal Nigerian map or not.
