Octagonal scrap tatted doily

I could have sworn that I saw this pattern somewhere but I cant find it. The pattern was a bunch of tatted octagon flowers connected and joined. All of the motifs were from scraps. I will give you the pattern below. 


I can't have been dreaming it!
Oh well. I reproduced the idea from memory. 
These are a bunch of motifs made from scrap size 10 thread from other projects. 
Some are modern threads, like aunt lydia's size 10 for the red and navy. Others... are vintage threads from the 1960s to 1990s (I think.)

Here's a picture of me trying to squeeze the last amount of pink thread onto a cheap generic shuttle.
I did the decoupage myself. I forgot where I got the paper from. But it matches nicely, right? 

Pattern
Each motif is eight sided. Rings only.
Ring 1: 8- 4- 4 -8
Ring 2: 8 + 4 - 4 -8
Final ring (8): 8 + 4 -4 +8. (Join the last picot the first ring with a folded join).
Each ring is then joined at two points to its sibling motif.
There should be a square shaped space between the finished joined motifs.

Make it with me, if you have any scraps. It should be fun!
