I really like the patterns in this book. The designs range from simple patterns that could be used as suncatchers to more elaborate designs with over 100 cuts a lot of which are concave. Some patterns would look best with jewels and seemed to be designed for them.

Some of the patterns presented are just variations of one another. So, there aren't quite as many patterns as the product descrption might imply. However, there was a lot of variety packed into this book.

I feel like this book was a good value.

As with all Mr. Sibbett's books, the images translate well to computer application when scanned. Most designs are two to a page with three on some pages. There is a nice range of complexity in the designs from simple to very detailed. Some designs too are scaled to produce items where the image needs to be large, for instance when you would want the image of only one or two flowers on the side of a box.

This book certainly has a lot of patterns, but the flowers are very stylized--like Early Americana. Not what I was expecting.
