The layout of the lid is taken primarily from the upper left hand corner of the Forget Me Not pattern. Start your stitching in the upper left hand corner, 2 inches down from the top and three inches over from the left hand side. Begin by stitching the complete motifs on pages 1, 2, 5, and 6. Add the complete motif from page 3 (shown here on the right hand side between the number 3 and letter S).
Now extend the motifs on the left side, charted in the pattern as half medallions. See the layout video tutorial for details on flipping a mirrored motif. You will work the entire motif for the smaller medallion from page 1. The larger motif on pages 1 and 5 will be extended 26 rows beyond the center line.
Fill out as seen below with motifs A, B, C, D, and E - use the detail shots to guide you
Motif A is found on pages 10, 11, and 15 and is worked almost in full. Do not work the last three rows on the right edge - I did and had to cut them off
Motif B is found on page 15 and is not worked in full. Work 29 rows from the top (missing 10 rows from the bottom of the motif)
Motif C is on page 10
Motif D is on page 9
Motif E is on page 15
