The designs in this collection begin with the 45DG diamond or, for the mathematicians, the parallelogram.No, don't switch off because, although creating detailed geometric patterns can be challenging, anyone of any ability will enjoy this light-hearted pattern collection with some easy piecing options that piece together in a relatively short time. Try the beginner friendly techniques and maybe even a spot of maths.--Fabrications, 10/2010 |
