Using pre-cut fabric packs takes the bulk of work out of quilt-piecing, leaving
you to concentrate on the sewing. With this savvy approach, even beginners will be able to tackle the nine quilts here, made even easier by the comprehensive instructions. No scrap is left behind either, with nine smaller projects that you can quickly make and give as gifts.
I received this book and it was everything I wanted and more!

Disappointed in this book, the one about jelly roles was excellent, this one is not as good.
