A cute pattern and pretty decent copy. I wish each tile included a proper border as that would make it easier to put together accurately.

not the kind of pattern instructions that I'm used to but still very simple and quick to make!
The patterns are truly beautiful but the instructions weren't very clear probably because they're vintage but the scan was hard to read. I figured it out though! i would buy again cause these are the exact type of patterns i love! thank you :)
