Beautiful pattern, great instructions

This variation to the classic log cabin design is beautiful. As always Eleanor's instructions are clear, detailed and percise. She offers yardage and instructions for wallhanging, twin, full, queen/king and this is not always the case with other books. Also included are examples are the many ways to configure the blocks once they are sewn. The instructions are written step by step with diagrams the whole way through, plus tips. The book also includes iron on patterns for making the triangle pieces as well as instructions for penciling your own triangles. I am a beginner quilter and made the regular log cabin pattern a few years ago. Star log cabin is definitely a step up in difficulty but completely do-able with the instructions in this book. I just completed the wall hanging and couldn't be happier with the outcome!

Loved This Book

The log cabin is for beginners, and this a great one. I'm an experienced quilter and, even so, I love Eleanor's clear instructions on what to do next and her ability to walk you through the process. The charts, descriptions, and diagrams are first rate. I loved making this quilt in twin size. One thing: If you're making either Field & Furrows or Mountains layout, don't cut out two strips of the lattice and sew them together. Cut one 3.5" wide for each lattice since you'll be using the same color. (that tip isn't mentioned in the book)

Star Log Cabin Quilt

This is a beautiful quilt when finished. As always, Eleanor Burns has great techniques to follow in this book.

Star Log Cabin is a 5 Star Book

Eleanor Burns has a nack for making a complicated pattern easy and quick. This Log cabin is my favourite pattern and the added stars in the sashing is a bonus. Eleanor's easy strip piecing methods makes this a beginners quilt and interesting enough for a more experienced quilter to be challenged.A must for your Library especially if you love the tradional Log cabin or a Star quilt lover.
