Dazzling Stars: A Galaxy of Block Patterns

Rating:
Summary: complex stars
Review: Like so many of us, the two authors are fascinated with stars. They have created 48 star blocks that can be pieced as 9-patch units, reducing or eliminating the bulky seams in the center that often plague complex star blocks. These stars have some unusual shapes and the book includes complete instructions for assembling the different combinations. A huge Gallery section shows many possibilities for using the star blocks. This is not a book for beginners since there are no project directions. You are presented with inspiration and raw materials and left to create your own masterpieces. You can make your own templates from the patterns provided or order acrylic templates for rotary cutting. I was sorry that this was not available online so that I could check out the price and get instant gratification.
