I love love love Eleanor Burns! She is my hero. I took a class as a beginner in 1993 using her Trio of Treasures book to make the Bear Claw. All of her books are wonderful. I am not crazy about the patterns - not enough information for beginners.
Irish Chain is probably the best 3 color quilt you can make. Log Cabin is second - and good practice to keep the seams at 1/4"

the very lst quilt i made when i started quilting again and doing rotary cutting was eleanor burns single irish chain. it's quick, easy, and gets a project done in a real short time. so you can see what you accomplised. IRISH CHAIN for sure.
easy step by step directions in it. a REAL beginner can do it. i am always suggesting this book to people who want to start quilting.
