I just received this book today and looked through it immediately. I'm new to using Monk's cloth and I'm glad I first bought Learn to Make Monk's Cloth Afghans where it tells you about preparing the fabric, several ways of finishing and instructions for more stitches. All the projects in this book show fringed edges but they can be hemmed for a different look. I do like the projects and patterns. There are large full color pictures of each project and the full page charts are also in color. A very well made book and certainly worth the price.
