I've thought about increasing the amount of flowers, changing colors, or maybe slightly decreasing the size of the inner chains so that smaller flowers would work around the circumference. I also like the idea of alternating flowers so that one is in the air and one is attached to the chain. As you can see there are so many possibilities, it makes it difficult to choose. I might just end up with multiple patterns!Robin Perfettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03654207262189636771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829519969948110134.post-45790035243258582212016-01-05T17:11:17.501-05:002016-01-05T17:11:17.501-05:00Very pretty!

Just wondering. :)God's Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14235608410243857253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829519969948110134.post-55646610708309353222016-01-05T05:31:48.398-05:002016-01-05T05:31:48.398-05:00Beautiful :).

I don't find the flowers overwhelming at all. I wonder if it might look different to you if you tatted them in a solid color? Or you could go for a larger design instead, adding more rounds to tame the flowers.Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07966487848401662776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829519969948110134.post-54696437747349066912016-01-05T03:20:54.934-05:002016-01-05T03:20:54.934-05:00I think it looks pretty :-)

That, of course, would require re-computation of chains ;-)<br /><br />I'm really impressed with your coaster/minidoily. I tried this reverse designing on 2 different edgings for coasters, and the pieces are Still incomplete :-( One day I might just cut and sew some fabric in the center ;-Pmuskaanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13125166115615109271noreply@blogger.com
