Review By: Lorraine Olsen,   Quilter's World - June 1, 2010
“We all know that paper-piecing (sometimes called foundation piecing) is a surefire way to get crisp points that match, but this special book takes that premise to a whole new level. A unique twist combines the Texas Lone Star block with miniature quilts, typically completed with English paper-piecing methods. Projects in this book are scrap-friendly and can be completed with just a few additions to the typical quilting toolbox. Two tools that you will need are a wooden pressing iron for creasing the paper and water-soluble fabric glue. You will also need the ability to photocopy or print the templates. This book is user-friendly, with detailed instructions from start to finish, including selecting and organizing project fabrics, creating interesting borders, binding and even creating a handing sleeve for your newest project. One of the best features of this book, other than the stunning quilts, is the chapter on trouble shooting problem stars. We've all had that quilting incident where we just “got stuck” and didn't know what to do next or how to “fix” the problem. Lorraine knows what can possibly go wrong with piecing these stars, and she's prepared a chapter to provide a helping hand. I've always been tempted to try a miniature quilt - this book may have just inspired me to make my own mini masterpiece. Giddy up!”
