This book provides patterns for 42 different quilt squares. Both the authors recommend two different layouts of the squares to create a sampler quilt. The final quilt pictued in the book contains red, white and blue hence the Americana title. The squares are different sizes but they manage to arrange them into one quilt. For the most part, each square is described on one page. Pictures and photographs are provided to highlight the instructions. The variety of square types describe many different techniques and include many of the traditional styles.
