This is one of Eleanor"s early books. She explains her "quilt in a day technique" with the basic log cabin square. She shows the quilter how many blocks are required for various sizes from wallhangings to king sized. She pictures the various patterns that can be achieved in the size quilt that is desired. Eleanor also gives numerous tips as the best standards in quilting. This was one of the first quilting books I purchased years ago. I misplaced my book an had to have another.

Eleanor Burns has made the Log Cabin Pattern very easy and simple to do, all with just basic strips of fabric sewn together then cut to size (how simple). Eleanor Burns has added more color to this edition of the basic Log Cabin Pattern there are many design variations throughout the book which gives you many layout styles to choose from (such as Barn Raising, Furrows and a Beautiful Star layout). So, why not grab some fabric, cut to size your strips, sew them together, and cut them to size again. Using your book to follow the easy instructions can help you reach your goal of having a completed quilt. The book also includes instruction for two different methods for finishing your quilt top, there is the quick turn and tie method which can be great for some beginners to use and also the machine quilt and bind method to finish your quilt top. Before you know it, a beautiful quilt in your color choice will appear and be ready for any room. The Log Cabin Pattern is simple enough for a Beginner Quilter and challenging enough for an Advanced Quilter, with the many color choices and layouts associated with this pattern. This can become a pattern you may find yourself turning to for quick gifts for friends and family members. You can make anything with this pattern from a quilt to home decor like a pillow. I decided to purchase this book because I wanted to use the easy instructions Eleanor Burns is known to demonstrate and to see the many layouts I could choose from and make a simple and fairly quick quilt for my bed. I finished my quilt in approximately 3 days from start to finish, it was a Full Size Quilt. I cut my fabric one day, I sewed my strips together one day and I choosed the simple quick turn method to finish my quilt. I hope that I have inspired newbies and advanced quilters alike to gather their fabric and sewing supplies and sit at their machines to create a work of art, known as the Log Cabin Quilt. Enjoy!Read full review
This was bought as a gift for my niece, a budding quilter. This is the book I started with many years ago. Ms. Burns had a long-time show on PBS that was a must for quilters. This is the must have for the Log Cabin pattern.

I liked it very much for its simplicity, easy direction and pictures which helps to explain the process. Although I knew almost everything about quilting before reading the book, I still found it informative and a good book.
