QUILT BORDER DESIGNS
The book is ideas or suggestions and contains 40 designs and, within those designs, various variations--so the 76 designs are multiple variations.
The book HAD potential, and I do know it was written in 1991, but it is black and white drawings on graft-looking paper. Looking at the cover of the book, with the designs in color, that was more what I was expecting. Where you can get a feel for how the border will look. I am a visual person, and black-and-white drawings for artwork just do not meet my expectations.
