This fantastic range of full-colour images is also available in a digital format on the accompanying CD.
Stunning collection.. This archive provides a major source of design for those who want to expand on the exuberant and colourful patterns and utilise the images in a completely unique and personal way. * Fabrications: Quilting for You *
