Summary

The book contains over 30 spectacular quilt designs and provides actual size shapes for comparison; trouble-shooting for seams; color-coded layout and pressing directions throughout the project; and binding for other angles. Because the designs are created with a triangular-shaped ruler, the final results are extremely distinct from the traditional methods and provides innumerable design options to quilters.
