I love this book for the quilting designs it inspires. If you're stuck for ideas, open McCallum's book and start drawing.

First prize., Jan 27 2005
By E Gordeen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 4000 Flower & Plant Motifs: A Sourcebook (Paperback)
This book has found a permanent spot in my home, namely, on my desk, where I do all my hobbies. It has loads of great ideas that I've already used. Can't wait for the author's next book --apparantly its a sourcebook on animal designs.
