Flowering Quatrain

This is the "Flowering Quatrain" bookmark, designed by Joelle Paulson, aka Frivole. I modified the instructions ever so slightly in order to make the flowers a different color (it's actually pale yellow, not white). Frivole designed it to be tatted all in one pass, with a row of split rings up the middle, and then the outer round is tatted around the strip of SR's. In order to make the SR's in alternating colors, I used double core SSSR's instead. But to make the outer round all one color, as I wanted, I had to cut and tie and start over fresh. The easiest way to do this, I felt, was to cut both threads, not just the yellow, and begin the outer round CTM. I chose to do just one corner for the end of the tail.

The threads are Lizbeth 654 Navy and 612 Light Golden Yellow. This was another color combo I discovered by accidentally seeing the two balls next to each other.
