This review is from: Patchwork: Seminole And Miccosukee Art And Activities (Paperback)
This book is nice if you already know how to do Seminole piecework and you would like to learn more about the Indians and their culture. I would have liked to see more patterns and instructions but the book is still worth buying if you want more information on the topic.

The instructions were clear and the panel I quilted came out great. I will use several other band ideas from this book.
