the 'Alex Anderson's Keep on Quilting' book is a great sampler style star blocks book- i did the quilt once in all creams/whites- it came out so great- i bet in blues & white it would be stunning- it is a great book for a (fairly new) quilter- one of our lqs' used it as a 'saturday sampler' program one year & none of the newbies had any trouble completing their quilt - yet those of us who were more advanced really enjoyed it too- i highly recommend it for anyone looking for a sampler style quilt- & stars.
