There are some really nice patterns in this book. My favorites are as follows. The most attractive is Underwater Adventures afghan: a central rectangle of blue with appliqued sea creatures and a multicolor border; the colors are bright and beautifully combined. There is a very nice cable stitch sampler afghan, and one made in filet strips with flower shapes that is pretty. There are several nice doilies, a couple with Irish crochet elements. A filet window valance, with a chart. Altogether there are 53 designs. Chapter headings are Judges' Choice Afghans, First-prize Fashions, Heirloom Masterpieces (doilies, table cover, valance, 2 edgings, all made in thread), Best-in Show Babies, Award-winning Dolls and Toys, Home Accessories Showcase. Designers include Margret Willson, Dot Drake, Bendy Carter, Hartmut Hass, and others. There is a one page stitch guide. Not a book for learning to crochet, but some classic designs to inspire your creativity. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is that I have not made any of the projects yet, but the patterns appear to be clearly written, and the photos are very clear.
