I ordered this book because I wanted the blocked quilted alphabet but I got so much more. There is about 15 cute wall panels that I immediately wanted to start quilting. The wall panel "Old Glory" has an appliqued basket you could stick a flag into. I chose to make the colors for spring/summer and instead have put flowers in the basket. The book is easy to understand with great color photo diagrams. If you want to make a seasonal quilted panel quickly, this book offers a nice selection.
