Content was a little disappointing; much of it I already knew, projects were a bit ordinary, not as elegant and creative as I had hoped. Silk is, after all, an elegant and exotic fiber --- even neckties can be quite exquisite. Im hoping to design something more upscale.Necktie Quilts Reinvented : 16 Beautifully Traditional Projects, Rotary Cutting (#256366882543)
