PAS has passed. Whew. But these additional pattern books for fusing (a quilting technique) and crochet slipped into my collection earlier this month:

200 Stitch Patterns for Baby Blankets
Couture Crochet Workshop: Mastering Fit, Fashion, and Finesse
Fun, Fast Fusies: Love to Quilt
Fusing Fun!: Fast Fearless Art Quilts
Noah's Ark Afghans and Accessories

I am definitely attracted to the pretty books of pattern stitches! These are some of the books I frequently refer to:

99 Floral Motifs
99 Granny Squares to Crochet
101 Crochet Squares
101 Granny Squares
101 Ripple Stitches to Knit and Crochet
101 Stitches for Afghans
200 Crochet Blocks
200 Ripple Stitch Patterns
200 Stitch Patterns for Baby Blankets
280 Crochet Shell Patterns

I'm also very attracted to blankets made with lots of colors - like granny squares, motifs, "scrap", ripples, and stripes!
