 "E" quilting tips February 13, 2008

I really enjoyed reading this quilting book. I have several of her books and find them easy to understand when making one of her patterns for my quilts. The patterns for the star blocks are beautiful. This book does not have quilt patterns for full size quilts, it more of teaching you her techniques and then you can put them together for whatever you want to make. I alway like Eleanor Burn's books and have several.

This book has large, straight-forward pictures to follow and step-by-step instructions. Contents include many wallhangings, which could be made easily into full-sized quilts. Another reviewer was dissapointed that a person needed Eleanor's specialty rulers. The only ruler that was different than others you normally find is her flying geese template. You could make flying geese anyway you want, but Eleanor's template is by far the best I've ever used.

I used this book to make my very first quilt for my granddaughter. I found the book easy to follow and very detailed. Eleanor Burns has obviously done a lot of teaching and knows that even the smallest of details are important for a beginner.

My entire quilt group is using this book to create several quilts to donate to charity. The 5 blocks that are taught in this book are perfect for our group. They are easy enough for the beginners, and the more experienced quilters are learning new tricks and using other techniques and embellishments to keep it challenging for them. Thank you, eleanor!

A great book, would be much better if you didnt have to use "Quilt in a Day" specialty rulers. I do not myself own these rulers so I had to figure the instructions using the rulers I own. A beginner may be confused.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that Eleanor Burns personally signed my copy.
