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.

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.

This book has some beautiful star quilts with good instruction. I only wish that there had been a few more patterns.

Just as I expected, very happy with my purchase and the service. Would buy from again.
