The quilts run bright and graphic, several in crisp red, white, and blue, and many work as one-color or scrappy stash projects. The cross stitch pieces carry sampler text and small keepsakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the Book Includes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the printed pattern book, not a kit or a finished project.
