Book Reviews of Underground Railroad Sampler
Book Review: Underground Railroad Sampler
Summary: 2 Stars
While the authors, Eleanor Burns and Sue Bouchard, are well known published authors and quilting instructors (Ms. Burns has her own TV series), the methods to construct all the blocks in this book are more complex than necessary. Even the blocks the authors rated as "easy" are definitely not for any novice quilter. I purchased the special "Quilt in a Day" rulers to facilitate accuracy as well as measured and squared each block to the precise specifications...ensuring exact 1/4" seam measurements along the way. I also had all the pieces for each block labeled and divided into their respective individual zip lock bags before beginning to construct any of the blocks. There is no way possible this quilt can be constructed in one day. With the simplified methods of rotary cutting, strip piecing and assembly-line stitching, these authors need to revise this entire book. Unless I reach a point where I am desperate to construct another "Quilt in a Day" quilt design, I will probably avoid purchasing any more of their books.
