15 projects, and a tips and techniques section outlines the basics for making the
blocks and the projects. Whether your tastes run to the more traditional
(nine-patch, star, basket, or pineapple variations, among many others) or the more
experimental (appliquéd orchids, cacti, or heraldic designs, for example), you're
likely to find something of interest here.
