Talk about taking Lone Star Quilts to a new level; Jan Krentz does it, and then some. Her work is superbly designed and crafted and the perspective that she shares in this book gives this type of quilt new dimension. Jan’s writing style allows almost every quilter that has average sewing and cutting skills to easily understand how to create this classic quilt, and the fact that she includes “extras” gives the quilts a fresh, new, updated look that makes them appear to be much more difficult to piece than they actually are.

	Six (6) colorful and beautiful projects,
	Time-saving rotary cutting tips to speed the process,
	Creative additions to the projects, such as: “Designer diamonds” (fussy cutting your fabric to get them) and spectacular appliqué patterns,
	Everything you need to know about making Lone Star Quilts; from start to finish and also from the most simplistic, to fantastic quilts that are enough eye candy to last you for awhile,
	A gallery of photographed, finished quilts made using the included project patterns. These photos should provide enough inspiration to get you going!

      If this article has sparked an interest in you, then this book would be a good investment. Bring Jan and her expertise into your home and allow her to guide you step-by-step through the projects. This book would even make a wonderful coffee table book!
