It has about 350 patterns for squares. Talks about making them by using a grid system and would you believe I found one (practically brand new) at the Salvation Army store in Yuma, AZ about 3 months ago for $.50 - yes that is 50 cents. I actually picked up 8 quilting books worth almost $90 for about $4.50. So don't forget to check the book sections in the thrift stores - never know what you will find. Carol
