Amazingly simple way to make a complex-looking quilt!!

I wish one of the options was a traditional square trip around the world, instead of all rectangles

Recommended to me by a former home ec teacher, this is full of colorful options for each quilt along with clear directions. The overall method was new to me and I want to try it.
