 One of Eleanor Burns best! June 25, 2008
I recently purchased this book and I love it. It has some of Eleanor's best patterns, lots of strip quilting and not too many "tools." I would advise anyone, except perhaps expert quilters, to buy this book.
one of the best E.B. books May 6, 2008
I have many eleanor Burns books, all which are easily comprehended and accurate, but this book takes you inside the world of Eleanor Burns. It is a must have for "quilt in a day" fans. i can't wait to try out some of the patterns.
Best Quilt in a day book yet January 14, 2008
This book as a TON of wonderful projects the look hard but with Eleanors instructtions and short cuts even a beginning quilter can make.
I would recommend this book to any quilter or wanta be quilter.
Still Strippin' After 25 Years October 1, 2007
This is an excellent book for beginners and experts as well! Eleanor is such a lovable and knowledgeable teacher that anyone could learn to quilt with her! The little stories she tells make the quilts so special that you feel you know her like a next door neighbor!
 Not really a better idea.... September 27, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As many people have said, the book gives measurements for several sizes of quilts and while that is very helpful, it gets tiring having to go back to the pages to see which size piece you need. After giving you this information and allowing you to precut all of your pieces, she really ought to refer to the sizes of the piece in the instructions, ie: Using the 2 1/2" Star Point strips... do this.... I found it distracting to have to go back to those pages and hunt for the description of the piece I needed. Also... the corners on one quilt don't work out as well as you would believe from the instructions in the book, I spent about two hours trying in vain to get nice flat seems from a point that had eight pieces of fabric joining together.
