great condition but only gives one star pattern.Very pleased with bookI have shared this book with a friend and she likes it a lot. I didn't think I would any of the patterns even though there are some beautiful quilts in book.Didn't like it, to much fabric waste. Not many patterns.disappointedgreat book. thanks!This is the new treasure on my bookshelf. I am most impressed with the illustrations of this new technique, and with the photos that acompany the clear and consise text. Obviously written by a quilter for other quilters, the directions guide you through color choice to completion. The tips and personal glimpses that are sprinkled throughout paint a word picture of this talented author. This book will be used frequently!!This book is a must for any quilter who likes stars. The technique was easy to learn and works wonderfully to make sparkling stars. You won't be able to stop with just one quilt!The pictures will inspire you to make it again and again. Good tips are given to help you along.The author not only presents a simple new way to create sparkling designs, she writes beautifully too. There are wonderful personal notes along with each quilt. Her directions are precise and easy to follow.I was able to complete a 38X38 top in one day!The photos are top quality, as is the book. Am enjoying it immensely. You will use this one over and over again.
