Joining Motifs. Place motifs in position with the small motifs to fill in spaces left open by large motifs. With a sewing needle and crochet cotton, sew motifs together with 2 or 3 over and over stitches. Do not break off thread, but make a run­ning stitch through the ch-loop on one motif to as far as center of next ch-loop. Be careful not to draw thread too tight. Take 2 or 3 over and over stitches in the center of this loop and the one on the other motif to join the 2 motifs together. Thus continue joining around blocks.
