SUMMARY- "Lightning Bolt" is on the cover. The designs are aimed at people relatively new to quilting. I always type in the Table of Contents first, before reading the book. This time, I was a little disappointed because I was anticipating a more visual game in her games section, demonstrating what she describes - but it's all text. Otherwise, another solid collection of visually striking pieced patterns.
