If there's one thing cross-stitchers can't get enough of it's new designs to use in projects, and this book is a gold mine of 500 varied and lovely blocks. Just think of how many choices that gives you! Each double-page spread of graphed designs is made up of borders and large and small motifs that can be made to fit together like tiles on a wall or quilt blocks. They can also be combined with other motifs from other pages to create a different and unique look to the piece you're stitching. The quality of the patterns is truly sensational---they are bright and colorful, and span all of the most popular cross-stitch subjects. Lush florals. Fanciful birds. Bold geometrics. They're all there---and many more---waiting for your creative touch to bring them to life.
