Star Log Cabin Quilt (Burns, Eleanor. Quilt in a Day Series.)

Summary: A beautiful quilt...but never, ever in a day
Review: As a new quilt maker, I found the directions easy to follow and learned a lot about short cuts for making blocks. I would recommend the book to anyone interested in quilting. However, let's get real -- it is not a quilt in a day -- at least not a 24 hour day. It was more like 2 weeks worth of days for a crib quilt, but worth it none the less.

Review: Directions were very thorough as were pictures showing each step of making this quilt. Sizes given were from wallhanging to king. The quilt I made won first place in a local quilt show.

Summary: Star Log Cabin is a 5 Star Book
Review: Eleanor Burns has a nack for making a complicated pattern easy and quick. This Log cabin is my favourite pattern and the added stars in the sashing is a bonus. Eleanor's easy strip piecing methods makes this a beginners quilt and interesting enough for a more experienced quilter to be challenged.
A must for your Library especially if you love the tradional Log cabin or a Star quilt lover.

Summary: good book, but NOT a quick to make quilt
Review: This book has excellent directions, and I found that the quilt went together very easily and accurately, but NOT very quickly. I did a double/queen and it took me about 30 hours just to piece the top. The quilting of course took much longer. So, do not buy this if you really think it's a fast quilt to put together. Also, the piecing methods for the stars are very easy, but they waste a LOT of fabric. Next time, I'll just piece them the old fashioned way.

Summary: Wonderful
Review: This is the first quilt that I tried and the book was great and very easy to follow. I will use it over and over again and never have to make the same quilt. Everyone that has seen the quilt thinks I have been doing them forever.
