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!

This book is an incredible source of information for anyone who shares my fascination for quilt blocks. It contains images of 5,500 pieced quilt blocks and includes source information
whenever possible. I keep this book on my desk next to my computer and use it to answer block questions that land in my mailbox each week. It does not contain instructions for making each block, but you can use the images to draft blocks in the sizes that you need. The author provides grids at the beginning of each section to help you draft the blocks within the section. This is an amazing block collection that deserves to be on every quilter's bookshelf!

by Debby Kratovil. There are sixteen beautiful quilts in the book, ranging in size from 23" x 23" to 66" x 66". Each quilt is
presented in a rich palette of colors that simply sizzle.
Techniques used in constructing the quilts include applique, template piecing, strip piecing,
English paper-piecing, and her own "coffee filter" method for making the Mariner's Compass
block. Instructions for each project are easy to follow and wonderfully illustrated.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to explore the "bright side" of quiltmaking!

"By Lisa Boyer. Fed up with feeling like you can’t meet the standards of the Quilt Police? Do you want to quilt for comfort and pleasure—and not to win some high-falutin’ quilting contest? Weary of worrying about what others will think of your color choices—or your pieced points? Or your applique stitches?
