“My approach to quilting is an approach for true beginners. I don’t like circles, hexagons, diamonds, rhombuses or any shape that makes measuring a chore. In this book, every project is designed using only squares and rectangles. Why just squares and rectangles? Because straight seams are easy to stitch!”
