Review title: Very strange technique
Product review: I bought this book used because of the two glowing reviews and the pretty quilt on the cover. I have been quilting for over ten years, have 50-60 quilting books in my library, and I have to say that this is the most convoluted technique I have ever seen. To make the type of block you see on the cover, the author wants you to cut dessert plate sized hexagons, sew them together with all the Y seams, then cut triangles along the seams of hexagon quilt top. Rotating the triangles you make stars. The technique is done with templates, marking, and scissors. I am experienced enough that I don't shy away from Y-seams and templates, but those stars can be made much more easily and faster by rotary cutting strip sets. If you really have a thing against rotary cutting, why not just cut the individual templates out for the stars? At least you don't have to do Y-seams and then hack all your work apart again. Very strange book.
