improvision
if you cant understand a pattern; improvise!!! that's what i did and i think it came out great. At the end of the pattern they said to sprinkle it with water on the wrong side, place a handkerchief over it, then iron.
to view the original pattern see link below:

Looks good. You did something right! I like the picots and sc over the chains on the last row, two of my favorite looks in doilies.
I can't compare it to the original because your link doesn't point to an actual doily.
very pretty! nice work!

I really like this design. Would like to see you use it in a beautiful shawl. Joining all the motifs together. Have you done that yet. Would love to see that! Barbara
I love the design and you did are wonderful job of interpeting the pattern. I myself would have blocked the finished item by pinning it out while wet. I do that to all my doilies. I think it brings out the patterns.
