5.0 out of 5 stars
This book rocks!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hunter Star Quilts & Beyond: Techniques & Projects with Infinite Possibilities (Paperback)
As with her first book, Lone Star Quilts and Beyond, Jan takes a traditional pattern and turns it into something beyond what the ordinary quilter has imagined. Her instructions are easy to follow, and if you don't like one method of block assembly, she gives five others to choose from. Not only does she make the piece work simple, she offers an inspiring gallery of Hunter Star quilts, certain to appeal to both the traditionalist and the art quilter, the beginner and the professional. Like they say in the movies, I give this "two thumbs up" along with the traditional 5 star rating. You won't be disappointed.

Template piecing, strip piecing, and fusible web,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hunter Star Quilts & Beyond: Techniques & Projects with Infinite Possibilities (Paperback)
The Hunter Star is an old-fashioned quilting block, but in Hunter Star Quilts Beyond, quilting expert Jan Krentz has developed six new ways to build upon the blocks to obtain a fresh, new look. This gathers quilt projects which can be either pieced or quick-fused. Template piecing, strip piecing, and fusible web are all discussed as options, while the chapters cover using the Hunter Star as a block or in log cabin settings. An inspirational presentation packed with color photo examples.

Great book with lots of construction methods,
By brnbear (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hunter Star Quilts & Beyond: Techniques & Projects with Infinite Possibilities (Paperback)
I saw Jan Krentz on HGTV's "Simply Quilts" and so I bought the book. The Hunter Star pattern is beautiful and Jan has several methods for putting the quilt together: paper piecing method, strip piecing method, fusing method, and colorwash method. Beautifully illustrated too with clear instructions plus lots of pictures of finished quilts for inspiration.
