Eleanor has quite a story of how she began publishing books and also how she came to simplify patterns with strip quilting. Once you try Eleanor's way, you might wonder why you tried any other way. I began with her Log Cabin way back in the mid-80's. I was used to the way my great-grandmother and grandmother made quilts. That would never work for me, so Quilt in a DAY...more my style. The Log Cabin is my favorite. Irish Chain is another of her early books that is a quick pattern. I did her braid quilt and it was easy-peasy! My husband was in the kitchen last night and he chimed in with "I hear Eleanor...are you on You Tube?" Yep. She and Jenny Doan make quilting fun! IMHO
