There are six projects to make in the main section, four quilts and two smaller projects which are laid out beautifully, along with the rest of this attractive book. This is not a beginners book but suitable for improvers and up, each project having steps with simple but clear diagrams but all the basics being understood as known by the reader. The two smaller projects are a beautiful clutch purse with a sunburst design and a zipper pouch designed as a gift for a teacher.
