Book Description

February 14, 2001
Star Happy Quilts is an easy and fun pattern book. It’s composed of three simple and different star blocks arranged in lots of variable ways. First you make the blocks, then you play with how to arrange them. The quilts were made up in five sizes, each arranged and colored differently. Then Judy drew 27 other variations to pick from. Within a particular size, you don’t have to figure any yardage, regardless of which arrangement you want to make. It’s all there for you, and yet the possibilities are nearly limitless!

Star Happy Quilts has thorough and accurate rotary cutting instructions and piecing diagrams, plus full-size templates and quilting motifs.

The best part of Star Happy Quilts is that it is a social book. Playing with the arrangements after the blocks are sewn is perfect for the social settings of quilt classes, guild meetings, or private get-togethers among quilting friends.

4.0 out of 5 stars A typical Judy Martin book though on the thin side., September 11, 2001
This review is from: Star Happy Quilts (Paperback)
I love Judy Martin's books and patterns and was looking forward to receiving her newest publication.

This book offers a concept of combining four blocks (evening stars in 2 sizes, rising star and plain square)into different outlays for several sizes of quilts. The quilts are breathtaking as usual and the different colors are sure to inspire everyone. I would have wished for more "behind the scene" information on the quilts presented as done in the pattern book.

For a thin booklet like this it is a bit expensive, but I am still glad I bought it and am looking forward to trying the concept.

4.0 out of 5 stars Star Happy Quilts, February 1, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Star Happy Quilts (Paperback)
As a quilting instructor, I found this book a delightful assortment of color combinations that sometimes students overlook. However, I thought the cutting instructions were somewhat confusing and didn't like her method of cutting triangles for the blocks when half-square triangles would have worked better and are easier to handle. I also thought the price was too high for a book that basically only had one pattern. On the plus side, it does show an interesting variation on settings and would work well for an intermediate project if started with an instructor.
