PATTERN NOTES All referenced figures can be found on pages 6 – 11. Finished motifs and/or finished tote may benefit from blocking. The tote pictured was not blocked, however, the stitching on the octagons is worked in the BLO which causes them to curl inward somewhat. And, there is a great deal of handling to complete the tote. Motifs may want ‘refreshing’ once tote is finished. 1|Page
