A quilt pattern that has been an enigma to some and a complicated mess of little squares to others is now as simple as cutting and sewing strips together! Thanks to Eleanor Burns' methods, the quilts actually can come together in one day. Her "system" is also adaptable to bargello quilts, and any number of other designs. Ms. Burns also provides her simple and fast method for applique using fusible interfacing. The Waterlily Quilt design has been one of my favorites since I first saw it, but I knew I'd never have the talent for the piecework or the applique. Eleanor has again placed a complex design within my reach. This book is great for beginning and experienced quilters of all ages and tastes. Definitely worth adding to your bookshelf.

I wanted an easy, dynamic quilt for a wall hanging, and had been looking at other trip around the world patterns. It seemed as if I was going to have to cut out lots and lots of little squares. But then I happened upon this quilt book, ordered it, and strip quilted the top in a day!
I am looking forward to making another larger one with different color combinations. I am pretty much a novice, but this book is clear and precise.

This is an excellent book for beginning quilters. One can learn how to make a beautiful quilt that will last a lifetime in a short amount of time. Eleanor Burns is very good at explaining the quilt process.

Believe it or not, this technique closely resembles bargello piecing. This is my first book like this and I just love how easy Eleanor makes the project.

No, i've not yet made one of these, but her simple techniques give me the confidence that I could.

Cheers Eleanor!!! Another fantastic book.

I just finished making up one of the quilts in this book...easy to follow instructions, beautiful artwork and photography, another winner from Eleanor Burns. I recommend it highly.

This is an excellent quilting book, very each to follow and very each to make.

saw tv show and wanted to have the book on hand while I made the quilt. Wonderful illustrations and clear instructions. Yet another winner for Eleanor Burns, whose designs and techniques I have used for years.

Again the directions are clear, the pictures are most helpful. I have not made anthing yet. I would like to get making something any time soon. If you like Quilt In A Day, fabric, threads and more quilt books you will love this book.

Exactly what I was looking for. Really enjoyed full color pictures and and instructions.

I am new to quilting and this book was suggested as a good, easy learning tool. All true. The book and author explains everything very well and am looking forward to taking a few quick trips.
