SUMMARY- This book was confusing to me - the list of images in the Table of Contents is NOT the list of the patterns - and those aren't listed in the Table of Contents. My OCD does not handle stuff like this well. I think the first section was meant to be inspirational, and the pattern blocks later were there to build your own idea of a Christmas quilt. Again, instead of being inspired, I just got annoyed. Mind you, I did like the blocks she gives the patterns for - Radiant Star, Pine Cone, Rose Wreath(applique), Double Ninepatch, Holly Sprig(applique), Bed of Peonies, Peony, Blazing Star, Goose in the Pond, Bear's Paw, Mexican Rose, Duck Paddle, Hands All Around, Georgetown Circle, Pine Tree, Tree of Life, School House, Christmas Candle, Delectable Mountains, and Swag Border(applique). They just weren't what I was set up to expect.
