I'll say this again: Difficult up close, even harder using photographs, and migraine-inducing when using digital images (at least when the image resolution is so small that it's hard to distinguish between pixels and stitches).There are a few areas that are obscured in the photo (this is IRPA Obj# 43380) but I have the main motif worked out. I've adapted it to be repetitive, so that I can use it on its own, but at some point I hope to work out the whole thing. May need to wait until I can visit it in person though.
Here's my redaction thus far (colours are not meant to be exact):

What program did you use for this? I did a redaction using Photoshop and it looks similar. Thanks for posting this pattern, it is on my list of things to make but I didn't feel like making the pattern yet. Now I don't have to, so maybe I will make it sooner!
I'm not very computer-savvy, and I tend not to use very complicated programs for everything. For many things, this included, I used the "Draw" feature on AppleWorks (for Macintoshs). Essentially, I made some standard-sized rounded rectangles, gave them different colors, and then physically (i.e. click-&-drag) moved them about. Very time consuming, but that's my favorite way so far..
I did something similar using Photoshop. I have never even tried AppleWorks (I use a Mac, too). Maybe I should; I like simple. My boyfriend is VERY computer savvy so he always shows me complicated stuff when he helps me.
Dear Sir,
a number of years ago I was able to obtain a book with further information on those textiles which are being kept in the basillica of Our Lady Birth (De basiliek Onze Lieve Vrouwe Geboorte) in Tongeren Belgium (Tongeren Basiliek O.-L.-Vrouw Geboorte, Textiel, published by :Peeters, Leuven 1988,ISBN 90-6831-125-5). The book gives infomation a number of textiles in the church treasury. The frontpage of this book shows a very details colour photograph of the purse on which you based your pattern.It took my a lot of headache, patience and time before I had turned the original pattern into a counting pattern with the aide of my Autocad programm. During work on the counting pattern I came to the conclusion, that the original pattern has been made up of two different types of blocks and one border. Being a technicaldraftsman by profession it soon became clear to me, that there is a slight difference in size between the two blocks. This results in an uncomfortable 'make up' of the pattern. I have been trying to find the 'reason' behind this discomfort. But to no succes.
For those who are interested: the two block are group together in a square of four elements. On the diagonal two blocks with the same make up have been used. The border has been placed around and between them as a framing, binding and separating element.
Thank you for charing you work with us.
Thank you very much for your pattern - just use it with different colors for a small Pouch side project :)
