Step by step: how to draw Friday Muggulu Designs With Dots

1. Mark the 7-to-7 dot grid — seven rows of seven dots.
2. On each of the four sides draw a large V pointing at the centre, its arms running out to the corners so neighbouring arms form double bands along the diagonals.
3. Beyond each V draw a heart pointing toward the centre and set a small arch with a fringe of dots inside it.
4. In the centre draw a starburst of straight rays, each tipped with a dot.
5. Across each diagonal band draw a small diamond with a spiral inside.
6. In the notch on the outer side of each heart add a pointed teardrop with a centre line, then wrap each heart in a large looping curve that sweeps round to meet its neighbours.
7. On each of the four corners draw a small round-petalled flower with a pair of spiral curls beside it.
