I would love to have the patterns/instructions for the 9 Patch Pizzazz and the Blooming 9 Patch without having to buy the book. When I did a search, all I came up with was to buy the books and that is really not in my budget. Any ideas or suggestions out there?
I could probably figure it out if I had a sketch of the layout, etc. I tried looking at the quilt but couldn't tell the pattern well enough.

I have been hitting up the library a lot lately ~ with xerox copies only 5-cents, I find the patterns I like, make a copy, then make a 3-ring binder of them... then I make plastic or cardboard templates of the pieces if I have a lot of pieces to cut ... saves loads, and I'm building a nice library of just what I want

I agree, the library is a great resource. My local ones don't carry much in quilting, but they have gotten books from me from outside the state. I won't buy a book before seeing it, and have been know to order them after being able to take them out of the library because they have been so good. Other times, I'm glad I just borrowed them!

We live way out in the country and our local libraries are quite small. What I didn't think about tho, was that they can borrow from the larger city libraries. What a good idea!! Thank you ladies for reminding me of that!!
