This coloring book was a fortuitous arrival as I am recovering from surgery and needing to 'take it easy,' something I am not used to doing.
The 31 pages of quilt designs presented by Carol Schmidt include a variety of styles, from patchwork samplers to applique samplers.
I decided to try my hand with the Crazy Quilt.

Quilters are always looking for fast and easy projects for gifting. We want patterns that are adaptable to different fabric choices, interesting yet simple, and with no-fail instructions.Most are pieced patterns based on traditional blocks including the Log Cabin, star variations, nine-patch, and pinwheels. She includes several quilts that combine appliqué and piecing. Each pattern tweaks the traditional block for an interesting twist.
Also included are full-page color photograph of the completed quilt, materials and yardage lists, step-by-step instructions for making blocks, borders, and completing the quilt, and a useful color picture layout of the completed quilt.

For instance, her Angel Fantasy includes a fussy-cut 9 1/2" block using a print of angels which is no longer available, but today's quilter can choose one of the wonderful new prints available as a feature fabric.
