SUMMARY- She did another star quilting book just a few years later with even more stars in it than this one. I do not know if it is an expanded edition of this one, or if it's an all new lot. What I do know is this book rocks! If you want to understand the differences between all the star patterns and how to recognize them, this book will do it for you - soooo much eye candy and clear descriptions of their construction. At the end of the book you then get an excellent collection of stars with their templates. And because she is a class act, she showed her work. She included a bibliography for further reading.
