SUMMARY- It's always a pain in the patooty to attribute the patterns in BHG's books. Like usual, the designer's names were listed on the last page of the book, and instead of giving us the names of their projects, they only listed the page where the picture is displayed for the finished piece. So after an hour of flipping back and forth, I got names attached to the projects - most of them, anyway. Some of the designs simply weren't attributed at all(a big pet peeve of mine). Despite my great personal annoyance and frustration, as always, it was worth the time and effort. BHG put out great project books, and this was more of the same. They were pretty even-handed in applique and pieced projects for the quilting, and they did a good job of age-appropriate projects. I was particularly happy with Janice Karaba's cloth play farm book, and the unattributed Cowboy Quilt looks like it came from the pages of an old Workbasket magazine(a great love of mine).
