My Marghab Identification Project is ongoing: I add photos to the list of Marghab patterns whenever I can. If you have a moment, please review the list to see if you have photos for any of the patterns that I am missing. Or, just for fun: the designs are varied and beautiful and whimsical. What's your favorite?! Is it even possible to have a favorite!?
