Feathered Star Quilt Blocks I [Paperback] Review

Feathered Star Quilt Blocks I [Paperback]I love this book!I have several of Marsha's pattern books, including her first Feathered Star book from back in the 80's, which I also love.

The first section is on drafting Feathered Stars based on the LeMoyne (8-pointed) Star.The second section is on designing your FS quilt.

There are extensive rotary-cutting instructions and basic piecing instructions, so even a beginner can give it a try.

There are patterns for ten different stars, and they include complete piecing instructions and alternate shadings, so you can see how different color choices can change the look of the block.

There are 6 pages of full-color photos of all the patterns, and 10 pages of all the templates needed for every pattern.

Marsha's special talent is taking a really difficult pattern and breaking it down into easy steps so that anyone can create the finished project.

I have already made "Lady of the Lake" and it is beautiful.

If you are interested in a complicated pattern that will yield stunning results, you won't be disappointed in this book.
