I bought the book with pattern ($40.00) and am so disappointed. She basically traces one (yes, only one) of the pointed stars in the blocks that look like new york beauties, and then says make 8 of them and applique them together in a circle. So I have to draft the block pattern from that one piece anyway, but appliqueing those very sharp points isn't really doable. If buying the book wasn't my first mistake, then signing up for a block of the month was my 2nd mistake, I am given no more "helpful" instructions beyond the books vagueness, and they are just sending me tiny bits of fabric, that are barely enough, and not even the colorway of the original antique quilt. So now I am using my stash, and trying to make my own pattern after I have thrown good money after bad. If it wasn't an opportunity to learn something new, like making and sewing paper pieced patterns, I would just quit this project.
