from Sharon
Being a novice, I love lemoyne stars, but haven't yet tackled diamonds and "y" seams... I love Nancy's books anyway, so decided to try this....using Nancy's technique making stars is incredibly easy!!..your points are perfect and there are very few seams to be matched...I am thrilled with this book, and I'm just pumping out wonderful stars... thanks, Nancy

Brilliant Ideas
Every now and then, a quilting book comes along that knocks your socks off with new concepts that work. Nancy's step-by-step instructions make it easy to follow her formula for perfect stars with no Y-seams and using squares and rectangles instead of triangles. Absolutely brilliant!

Nancy does it again!!
This book will forever put to rest the notion that eight pointed stars are difficult! Anyone will be able to make those pesky stars with complete confidence and perfection. Nancy has done ALL the work by giving us 30 stars in many different sizes. She also gives us some beautiful quilt projects to make. She also shows us how to use the "leftovers" to make absolutely beautiful and imaginative quilts. Nothing is wasted. There are some techniques out there that are so wasteful, that I hesitate to use them. With fabric prices steadily climbing, I am very happy to use this wonderful book. Thanks, Nancy. I love the book. It's one of my favorites.
