SUMMARY- When I saw the two pages of Table of Contents I groaned - and looked for ways to trim them down a bit while I was entering them on the left. Not a word got dropped - it was all useful information for someone wanting to know if this would be a good place to start their quilting obsession. I didn't know exactly what they had meant with "Quiltmaking Styles and Techniques" from their title, but their ToC cleared all of that right up. So, it took awhile to enter the ToC for you, but I think it was worth the effort. This design team covers a LOT of ground.
