Hi I just found my book. The blocks actually are quite nice. There's a cutting chart for each size block (6,9,12,15), which provides info for one block. You would have to calculate how many blocks you wanted in your quilt, then figure the yardage. There is just a layout of the block, no construction details, so probably not good for a brand new quilter. Each block also has 2 or 3 quilt layouts in different colorways so you can visualize the final design.
