This round lacey motif is made of blocks and picots. The large circular medallions are joined and a small fill-in motif inserted. These can be used to make a tablecloth, bedspread, runner, or chair set. Use smaller size thread for runners or chair sets and heavier cotton thread to make bedspreads or tablecloths. Choose white, ecru, variegated, pastels or bright colours.
