I think it will be very inspirational in things that I want to make with an "all over" pattern or for use in making borders. From looking at the paisleys in the book I can see where paisleys come from and I never really thought of that before.The paisleys may seem the same to some people but I do like seeing so many different ways to do the same thing. I have been happy with most of the Dover books that I have...I think they do a good job!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy RuthSchorerBeautiful renderings.
