This motif makes me think of tulips. It has a rather odd construction, where the outer round is not joined all the way round but has four gaps. I thought that would mean I didn't need to shorten the centre chains. 'Not so but far otherwise':
At least I didn't make the mistake of carrying on regardless.
I do remember that about that pattern, and never made this one either. Pretty colors you used too!
ReplyDeleteIt does look like tulips!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty thread, lovely motif.

Pretty!! :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty tulips, too!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I agree that it looks like tulips.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty !!! Wonder why all the 'tulips' were not joined together ? Does she use this pattern in another construction ?
ReplyDeleteI thought perhaps she was just trying to be different? I'll keep an eye out for similar in later patterns.
DeleteBeautiful doily! I like your colours.
ReplyDeleteLovely Tulips. I wonder what the purpose of not joining all around the ring/circle is?
