I've made several of her quilts but not this one. If you follow her instructions and dont get ahead of yourself you can make any of her quilts. Just do follow what she says. Denise

I don't know about the pattern.

I'm with you . Unless it is a doll quilt, then maybe

The Quilt in a Day came from Eleanor's original way to do log cabin blocks by chain sewing them. You can make a lot of blocks very fast and do a quilt very quickly...although not sure if it would be in a day!!

I did her Orion Star quilt and it took many days. Her directions are great and she does show you shortcuts that work. I would do another one if the book was a great price.

I used Elenor Burn's Quilt in A Day Log Cabin to make several quilts. It has always taken me two days. I suppose if I didn't have to stop for the children and my DH I might be able to do it but my life is not built that way!

I made the Delectable Mountains by Eleanor Burns and really loved how the quilt came out. No, I didn't do it in one day, but I didn't mind. This is actually a very easy quilt to make. I plan to make another one soon. If you get stuck, feel free to PM me. Good luck!! :D
