PATTERN RATING:Star Rating. All the patterns are full-size and use the A-B-C method of marking. The types of patterns are pretty run-of-the-mill, but quite competently done. Foxes seem to be hard to do(I've seen a lot of badly done ones), but this one looks great.

INSTRUCTION RATING:Star Rating. Instructions are broken down by body part, and there is a little illustration to go with them. It has a good section at the beginning explaining the basics with good illustration to back them up.

SUMMARY- The patchwork toys are actually yo-yo toys, and not really patchwork at all. She gives a nice variety of the old standards.
