This lovely book introduces ways to use pineapple patchwork techniques for those quilts which feature one single large star on the quilt top. Paper piecing techniques are used and this sumptuous book provides plenty of information and some wonderful patterns with which to learn the technique.

There is an extensive section covering different ways of handling fabric and design to produce different effects and the author does not forget to cover the importance of quilting in finishing the work. Indeed, the final pattern in the book displays the most exquisite stipple quilting I have ever seen. There is also a chapter discussing a variety of different layouts so that you can produce more effects with the large diamonds used in these quilts.

The workmanship in the sample quilts on display in the book is superb. The nine patterns included will allow you to create several different sizes of quilt in each pattern thus allowing for the needs of quilters in different circumstances. Full yardage charts are included with clear instructions and I really cannot recommend this too highly.

Was very pleased to recieve the quilting book I ordered one day after the company said it would be to me. I have never recieved an order for anything that fast. The book was new and in excellent shape. I recieved it just before the Holdiay weekend which gave me plenty of time to read and enjoy it before going back to work. Looking forward to starting a "New" quilt project. Thanks for making my weekend!!! Bonnie
