For me to buy a quilt book there has to be at least 3 patterns that I like, a quilt magazine has to have 1 I like and some tips or something else. Not really into kits cause I like to pick my own fabrics though I think I will buy the kits if I decide to do the 2 New Mexico Missions quilts. They are 12 block quilts with each block being an old mission church here in the state. I don't think I could pick better fabrics since their picks on based on the missions. They have also just started a block of the month of the Saints. So, looks like I maybe joining a BOM for that, could do the missions that way too.
