Definitely moving that way. I would say in my last 10 pattern purchases, 9 were books! But unfortunately some designers (Judy and Jacqueline for example) don't publish in book form. And honestly their patterns are so advanced that I can't imagine being able to put too many into one book. So I think if you want a very advanced quilt, you sometimes have to go with a pattern. And with very advanced quilts, the directions must be written concisely and well. After making a Judy Niemeyer quilt, I made the mistake of expecting the Be Colourful one to be done just as well....my mistake!
