Bought for $1 at the Rising Star Quilters Guild annual quilt show. It is pretty comprehensive and full of good ideas, pictures, and patterns. The organization is curious - the section on techniques are toward the end instead of the beginning - but there's plenty here for inspiration and enough practical information to get started on a variety of projects.

Lemon/LeMoyne stars
House
Butterflies (p. 84-85)
Fans
Contained (patchwork diamonds with diagonal sashing, p. 119)
Alphabet
Irish Chain (single and double)
Applique hearts
Four-patch
Log Cabin
Pinwheel
Flying geese
Reverse applique (

This could be a good reference book for beginning quilters. I bought it for the photos of some 19th Century quilts I haven't seen elsewhere.
