Barbara H. Cline

To make the 'Amazingly Simple Triangle Stars' are truly simply. Barabara Cline's stars are made with templates, and 5 pieces for each section of a star. Detailed instructions are given for easy, basic stars in a quilt. Step by step, more difficult stars are demonstrated in how to sew. There are many variations, including kaleidoscope stars, which are my favorite; made by repeating fabric once in each star point; blocks, stars that span the color wheel; circles behind stars; pinwheels, and much more. At the end of the book, basic quilting instructions are given. I believe making these stars could be kind of time-consuming, but the results are well worth it and there are so many choices to make.

Simply Triangles by Barbara H. Cline is full of triangle quilts, of course! But these triangles are very interesting. In order to make most of these quilts, it is important to learn how to sew 'Y' seams, which are covered in Simply Triangles. I want to try their technique. Barbara Cline has designed triangles that are made with strip sets, triangles with dark netting over (to create an illusion of depth in the triangles), triangles with appliques on them, and triangles that have overlapped edges.
Despite being relatively easy, these triangle quilts look like masterpieces. Simply Triangles also covers borders that are the finishing touches on these quilts.
I recommend this book to advanced beginning quilters and more experienced ones.
