Teneriffe Lace is created by making individual motifs and then stitching them together to form a bigger, more elaborate piece such as a doily.

Middle, right in the photo is an individual motif.

The upper piece is a doily made of 7 individual motifs of the same size.

The bottom piece is a doily made of a bigger, more intricate motif in the center, surrounded by 8 simpler motifs.
