All Star Quilts cover

Based on the 8-pointed LeMoyne star, these quilt projects use the tried-and-true strip-piecing method that Blanche originally developed in 1979. Blanche and her daughter Helen have been exploring this historical star ever since, playing with different configurations and sizes, to captivate generations of quilters to come.
The ten quilt projects include Lone Star, Touching Stars, Rolling Star, Broken Star, Star of Bethlehem, Double Star, and Blazing Star.
A gallery of 25 additional quilts is included, together with lots of author tips for accurate results.

If you only pay attention to it you will see that certain stars are lemon-yellow, others pink or a green, blue and forget-me not brilliance….it is obvious that putting little white dots on the blue-black is not enough to paint a starry sky.” Vincent Van Gogh, 1888. Words from the master of 'Starry Night' and instructions and inspiration from the master quilters of stars for over 35 years! This is an absolute must-have book for all stargazers. There are some guidelines for fabric selection, whether you want a traditional look or something more contemporary and some fascinating designs upon which to gaze!
