I bought this sight unseen as I am a big fan of Miss Rosie and Carrie Nelson. It is a keeper, although I discovered too late that I already owned 3 of the 13 patterns in this collection. So ... you might want to check your own stash of patterns to see if purchasing this book is a net plus for you. To help, here is the full list of 13 patterns:
501
Double Duty
Elizabeth
Ginger Belle
Going Buggy
Home Sweet Home
Jellystone
Open Door
Opening Day
Raise The Roof
Three Coins
True Blue
Whirligig
Personally, I do not mind having some duplication when it comes to Carrie Nelson's Miss Rosie's Spice Of Life Quilts! In fact, Nelson duplicates what works best for all her publications: fun projects, great colorations done in my favorite fabric lines (to which she always gives proper credit and identification), flawless instructions and diagrams, and her signature personal intros for every project.
And as with most patterns in the Miss Rosie domain: If you are an entry-level quilter, you should know that most of Carrie Nelson's projects tend to be twin-bed sized or larger. (Except for the Schnibbles series, that is.) And there can be a LOT of blocks in each project; for instance, "True Blue" (the project on the cover) has a 100 repeated blocks. But please don't let this daunt you. Trust me, you will fall in love with ALL of Nelson's quilts and you will find inspired ways to make them your own treasured pieces.
One last positive note: This is a Leisure Arts publication, and I have been so pleased to see how they have improved their books over the years, with only a modest and reasonable increase in price.
