This book gives directions for 32 quilts; however they are really not quilts made from scraps. In theory you could use scraps, but the directions are for only fat quarters and larger pieces of fabric.
With each quilt a project rating of easy, intermediate and complicated are given (inexplicably three are missing this). Hints are given, charts, steps and diagrams make the directions pretty clear; although I would not say this is for a beginning quilter, unless they were an experienced `sewer' with some determination to start on the easy ones.
There are very clear instructions in a general instruction section. The quilts that I had success with and look more difficult than they were are the; artisan star and seams of opal. The simple cross would be my first choice for an inexperienced quilter. It does turn out into a handsome project.
This is one of the better quilting books, but really does not deserve the title of scrap material.
