Nickel Quilts

"Each of the quilt patterns in this book is rated by skill level -- easy, beginner, or intermediate -- based on the degree of piecing difficulty. Once you've used our easy unit-construction methods to make your first nickel quilt, you'll be ready to move on to one of the more challenging projects." From inside book.
