Perfect

No excessive verbiage, excellent patterns (even the kindle book has a link to a pdf with all the line art), and some really cute design ideas. I will use much brighter materials; the author uses lots of brown, which I do not like. But the ideas are what matters, and her ideas are really good.

There are some beautiful projects plus I love the author's color choices. I'll have to wait til after summer to think about working on wool applique blocks though. Too hot for in your lap work!!! Once it starts cooling down though, all bets are off...
