I love Eleanor Burns. I made a quilt from one of her books and while it took longer than a day, it was so clear and went together like a dream. I couldn't do anything in a day because I can't stay focused that long! Sew a seam, take a break, sew another seam, check email, sew a seam, get a snack, and so it goes! I use her techniques on other things I do and they are really good.
