Decent collection of easy quilts
This is a great book for a beginning quilter. As is true with all of Ms. Burn's books, the instructions are clear, the book includes a lot of fantastic illustrations and the quilts are easy to make with strip piecing. I have made three of the quilts and they go together very quickly and easily.I downgraded the book to three stars because of the physical quality of the book. The copy I received apparently contained many, nmany errors, which had been corrected by pasting small pieces of paper with the corrections over the original type - I counted 25 "pastings" in all! The book LOOKED like a patchwork quilt on some pages! It also had some misnumbered pages (that were not corrected), as well as headings that were incorrect (wrong name of quilt in the heading). I also found errata sheets for one of the quilts on the Quilt-in-a-Day website.This was a hardcover copy and I was very disappointed that the publisher (a) let so many errors thru to final copy; and (b) made me pay so much money for a book that had so many typoes and "patches". I hope that those problems have been resolved in the copies that are now available.

missing pages
The book is in good shape except it missing pages 67 - 74. Not good for a book with instructions on how to make quilts. Nothing was in the description that pages were missing either.

Don't Let the Title Fool You
Underneath that sunny smile and cheery voice is an intelligent and determined woman with a good sense of humor. Thanks to Eleanor Burns and her long term dedication to her craft, strip quilting keeps getting better and better. This hardbound book is filled with great pictures of many of her best ideas- "simplify the process, be brave, and enjoy your own creativity." Quilt top piecing becomes a breeze because her directions are explicit, logical and easy to follow even if you are a novice. Warning, if you ever listen to her on t.v. her voice and demeanor may drive you a bit bonkers. None the less, Eleanor is a quilting expert worth her weight in gold. Her methods always make patterns that look difficult, easier for big chickens like me!

Very Good Instructions
I just received this book. Flipping through the pages - I am very impressed with the instructions. This book can be used by beginners and seasoned quilters alike. The book has finished quilt pictures and illustrations to go with the instructions (which makes it much easier to understand). It gives the yardages and finished dimensions of each quilt. There are approximately 17 patterns. The book also has a suggested general supplies list (rulers etc.) and finishing instructions (which include binding instructions). I have not attempted any of the patterns yet, but am looking forward to it. This book is very organized and is very easy to understand.

Great book for new quilters
Book provides VERY detailed instructions easy enough for beginners, but great for experienced quilters too. Lovely quilt patterns too. I especially like that the amount of yardage required for lap quilt, twin quilt, queen quilt, etc. is provided for each quilt pattern in the book.

Excellent book, excellent condition
This was a used book purchase and it was truly unused .. got a fantastic price and I always look for used books because of the great value. Many quilt patterns in this book that, in the usual Burns style, provided excellent instruction to many favorite quilts that I have wanted to make.
