Green Doily Finished!

This is the doily I ended up with - thought I would go for something a bit different... an elongated diamond shape.  I made 25 medallions (7 with a centre and 18 without) and completed the doily with the border as in the pattern.

Finished Doily:  Motif no.17


It was a beautiful sunny day in the garden today so I took my pictures outside.  I love the combination of purple with green and I think the purple background behind the doily really brings out the brightness of the green.




Hope you're all having a pleasant and relaxing weekend.

Best wishes,

    I'm not the kind of person who would normally like something in green, but that REALLY looks nice! You did a wonderful job.

    You made the right decision to exclude the centre for the outlying motifs. I like the airy feel without the centres. I like the green, too.
