Description
"Packed with color examples, patterns, and easy step-by-step directions... a fine pick for any quilter seeking an easier way of producing star quilts." ¿
Midwest Book Review
Based on the eight-pointed LeMoyne star, these quilt projects use the tried-and-true strip-piecing method that Blanche Young originally developed in 1979. Blanche and her daughter Helen have been exploring this historical star ever since, playing with different configurations and sizes, to captivate generations of quilters to come.
The ten projects include Lone Star, Touching Stars, Rolling Star, Broken Star, Star of Bethlehem, Double Star, and Blazing Star-all of which you can make without having to cut diamonds-and a gallery of twenty-five additional quilts is also provided!
