  3. I love arrow designs & triangles the middle picture on the right seems to offer me this! Caught my eye the moment I looked at the pictures. This book looks fantastic!

  6. I’m curious about the one in the third column, middle, first of the folded ones – rectangles with shading colors

  7. Wow! I’ll have to buy this book if I don’t win it! The afghans are all scrumptious but I love the one on the upper left with the flag shaped end.

  8. I love them all. I especially love the quilting Afghan. You can choose colors if your choice and be creative. I also love the two blue blankets, they are very ordered and lovely, also blue my favorite color.

  16. I like the one in the middle on the left. So beautiful – actually all of them are beautiful!

  20. They are all so beautiful! I’m especially intrigued by the geometric creative afghans on the middle right picture. Love the colors and creativity of ALL the designs!

  24. I’m intrigued by whatever is going on in the middle picture, last row. In truth, I really like several of these and would love to make them 🙂

  28. I love to crochet. I make many shawls and afghans for people in need in my area. The design I like the most is the blue and white afghan. I always like a challenge. I like your choice of books. Thank you.

  31. I like the one in the upper left corner. It’s pretty in a rainbow of colors but if I were to make it, I might pick more subtle and related hues. I like that this seems to be only limited by one’s color imagination!

  36. They all look beautiful but I always wanted to make a hexagon afghan, so my choice is the blue hexagon afghan. Thanks for the giveaway!

  39. I love the triangle blanket in the bottom right corner! It would be fun to make something like that with all your leftover scraps!

  41. I am intrigued over the blanket in the Right (3rd) column, center frame, 2nd up from the bottom. I have always been fascinated with Native American art and this one looks to be patterned after that. I’m also assuming this is the same blanket on the front cover of the book almost dead center. When I win one of the books (praying real hard), this will be my immediate project to complete. Thanks so much for the opportunity!

  43. These are so unique! I really like them all, but my favorite is the one in the top left corner!

  44. to get this book would inspire myself and others I teach love all of the pictures of the blankets thanks

  46. They all look beautiful but I really like that blue/white one in the center top photo! Thank you for the chance to win. 🙂

  48. I absolutamente love the Blue hexagonal one! I have a wedding in March and have been looking for the perfect pattern and this is definitely it!

  49. The colors are so stunning. My favorite is the middle on the left hand side. Chevron pattern just pops with the color combination you used.

  50. How is anyone suppose to chose one? But if I have to, I’d say middle row, top. The blue and white afghan!
