Once again Pat goes through her explanation of collecting 5 inch NICKLES and duplicates but expands the instructions from her first book. In this book she has a larger gallery of scrappy NICKEL QUILTS. What I did note that Ms Speth used more flying geese and hour glass patches in her blocks.
Quilts I liked:
Beach Party ---
JACOB 's LADDER --- I have always loved the black background and the bright fabrics used in this quilt.
Pinwheels on Parade ---
Stars over Mitford --- I have never seen this block except in this book. I tried looking it up in Encyclopedia of Patch-work and Block Base, despite trying several times. What I like about this block is the masculine flavor/ styling of the block. I made it for a nephew using blues and greens.
BRAVE WORLD --- This takes my favorite block BRAVE NEW WORLD and mirrors them putting them with sashing.
I find I like the quilts in this book more than her first book, NICKEL QUILTS.

Interesting design and construction approach: start with gobs of 5 inch squares, sew units, assemble into various scrappy quilts.
