From the Publisher
Quilters love pieced star blocks, but how do you handle the set-in pieces to make flat-lying blocks with perfect points? Now there's an answer with Sharyn Craig's easy Y-seaming construction method. This pattern plus instruction book contains easy-to-follow photos that show how to use the method to piece a perfect LeMoyne Star, working from the outside to the center of the block. After mastering the Y-seam technique, you'll apply it to dozens of other block patterns such as Morning Star, Virginia Star, North Star, Rolling Star and Flying Swallows. Block diagrams, piecing guidelines, full-size pattern pieces and rotary cutting dimensions for a dozen blocks, each in two sizes, are included. There's a bonus block, too. An exciting photo gallery features 16 stunning quilts and Sharyn offers plenty of guidance on settings so there's a wealth of ideas for using the blocks! There's even a chapter on drafting with two handy formulas so creative quilters can make Star blocks in any size they wish. Get starry-eyed over the designs and how-to's packed in the latest book from this popular quilting teacher.
