Finishing
Stitch halo to angel’s head. Make a cone out of wax paper (or wrap wax paper around anything cone shaped you might have) and place angel on it, use a pin (I find a T pin works best), to hold the halo above the head, and block with fabric stiffener.

Flaws in the pattern. Starting with row 11. Needs to be looked at and rewritten. Maybe have testers fo the pattern before publishing.
I love the pattern and appreciate all the work you put in to design it. I am having trouble with Round 10 & 11. I have made the angel top several ties and cannot seem to make it look like her wings. Please help if possible. Blessings and thank you.
