Do you like small projects? Would a quilt project be on your list? This book is excellent. It has a variety of different patterns to choose from. Most are about 30 x 30, with some being up to 60 x 60. Definitely quick stitching from here. There is a color key at the front of the book with most of the colors used in the book. If a designer used extra colors or other items in their pattern, the pattern is marked so at a glance you would know.Soft cover and full color pictures. A true delight to have.

I bought this to make an afghan for my Granddaughter. Lots of design ideas are included and stitch details to learn new techniques. It worked great for me, I used several designs and changed them slightly to make them "mine".
