Avlea Folk Embroidery BitKit Cycladean Chevron Cross Stitch Kit by Krista West.

Repeating designs such as this are found in abundance throughout folk embroidery, most often as cushion covers or table runners. This type of embroidery beautifully illustrates the phrase “greater than the sum of its parts” as new and varied patterns are seen with the repetition of a several smaller elements. The blue chevrons have a lovely energy reminiscent of flowing water.

This would make a lovely small table centre, or dressing table mat.
