America's Best Quilting Projects: Star Quilts (A Rodale quilt book) [Hardcover] Review

... and you have a thing of beauty when you're done!
I was lucky enough to scoop this book up in our public library.It was the beauty of the cover that attracted me.I had never quilted before, but had wanted to learn how.I knew this was not a how-to book, but was aimed at an audiencewho had more experience than I.It assumes you have some knowledge ofterms and techniques, like strip piecing, but a short beginner's class willbring you up to speed fast enough!I have never been disappointed whenbuying a book by Liz Porter and Marianne Fons.The instructions are clearand concise, and you can avoid some pitfalls if you follow the instructionsliterally, as in assembling star pieces in the same order as they do - itmakes it lie flat and you can ease the seams together better.
I alsolike the little tidbits they throw in.They're a wonderful team and theywrite wonderful books.I did my first strip-pieced Starburst quilt in aclass that made alot more progress thanI did and I used this book tofinish the project.It's a great addition to any home quilting library.
