When I saw Eleanor do this on her TV show, I was intrigued (as I'd never made a Log Cabin quilt before) so I got the book & liked it (loved it) so much, I've bought other copies for friends! It's easy to understand & while it took me much, much longer than a day to finish mine, the end product was worth it! A great book for beginners or old hands alike!

[Cathy]

Just what I needed for the project I had in mind. I somehow sewed the second seam on the wrong side, but was able to use the diagram and complete my blocks anyway.

[Carolyn R]

Beautiful quilts, straightforward instructions.

[Maureen]

Inspirational story of Eleanor's persistence to learn how to make a quilt faster and teach others how to make a log cabin quilt.

[Malia]

Good book. Basic, but a good lesson as either a refresher or a starting point for log cabin quilting.
