Big One-Star Quilts by Magic>/i> by Nancy Johnson-Srebro is her second pattern book about making easy Lone Star or Star of Bethlehem quilts without using diamond shapes and the bias they bring. Nancy's patterns are only made with squares and rectangles.

Fourteen star pattern designs vary in their design and are easy enough for beginner levels quilters. From simple to complex looking, the traditional looking patterns look like they were in fact made with diamonds, and they aren't! Easy cutting techniques using rectangles and squares are all that she uses to give the effect of diamonds. She has eliminated all "Y" seams from adding the background to the star. Nancy provides cutting sizes and diagrams for 4 sizes on each pattern.

I recommend choosing fabrics without a directional print for certain blocks where you want the seams to be invisible. Nancy shows each pattern made in fabric in two starkly different colorways. This really is the key to getting the look you want in the end. Usually there are three to six colors of fabric used in each finished quilt top shown. The pieces are rather large, and the color layout can change the entire look.

Fourteen additional patterns are included- mostly made with fabric left over from cutting the star pieces! They make perfect backs for the star. Additional fabric for borders may be needed to get the same size. Be "green' and reuse, recycle, reclaim your scraps for the back or another quilt top. Is this is the 21st centuries version of the "economy quilt?"

The other major reason to own this book is the quilting patterns. Nancy provides two completely different and FABULOUS quilting patterns shown for each pattern. They are unique, complex looking and beautiful enough to use on whole cloth quilts as the main form of design. Quilting by hand or machine, there are no templates for the stitched designs or continuous line diagrams, but the illustrations are clear and easy to see. You draw your own and enlarge them to mark the quilt. You can choose from feather patterns, stars, circles, diagonal and curved lines. There are too many designs to list, ranging from easy and simple to different pattern combination forming smaller designs and tighter coverage.

The resulting quilt top is covered almost completely with stitches, as they would have been in the early 19th century when it was the style to do so and it was necessary because the cotton batting would separate and move if not held down with close lines of stitching. Areas of one color are detailed by the quilting pattern filling that color and, drawing the eye away from seams. The patterns accentuate the big star.

Traditionalists can take a break from the original Star of Bethlehem pattern and make two, three, even four of these patterns as gifts in less time. No one receiving your gift will be the wiser.
