SUMMARY- I was expecting something a lot more banal than what I got - this is a very thoughtful, moving, and educational book with some appropriately themed applique projects. Please take a look at the Table of Contents. The Gallery isn't of the projects, by the way - it is of quilts that were made to help with grief, or celebrate a life. This was well worth the price of admission and really could help if you're looking to create a memory of someone.
