A busy mother of two small children, Nelson wanted projects that would be as close to instant gratification as one gets in quilting and would include time-saving techniques and tips for adding personal touches to the work.

Most of the projects are wall or miniature quilts employing rotary cutting and speed assembly techniques to make the projects come together rapidly without sacrificing quality in the process.
