Stars by Magic

5941 Stars by Magic http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1571202412/ref=nosim/homesweethome04 by Nancy Johnson-Srebro. I was instantly intrigued by the cover of Nancy Johnson-Srebro's newest book, which promises a new super-easy technique for creating diamond-free stars from squares and rectangles. When I got the book home, I discovered that not only could I make eight-pointed stars from squares and rectangles, but I could make
them with much more precision and with greater ease than using the old-fashioned y-seam approach. Her technique is amazing!

The book begins with a thorough explanation of her diamond-free method. This is followed by 30 star block patterns in 5 sizes. Each pattern is wonderfully
illustrated, a plus for visual learners like me. The book ends with 10 quilt "maps" that allow you to use any of the blocks interchangeably. If you've avoided eight-pointed star patterns because of the difficulty
that they present, you'll want to take a look at this book!

By Evelyn Sloppy. Can’t bear to throw out your scraps? Give this old-time technique an all-new twist! These string-piecing shortcuts stretch the method way beyond its traditional uses. Sixteen patterns include fun baby quilts, plus gorgeous throws and bed quilts. Simply sew ""strings"" of fabric together, and then cut from the patchwork fabric to make finished blocks. Get fabulous results with this cinch of a technique--and there’s no need for a foundation!
