With an understanding of work/life balance challenges, she created a book with doable projects that don't require much time and can help quilters achieve grand results in those precious few pockets of time that can be found in a day. "I understand how hard it is to have a full-time job but still try to pursue a creative endeavor such as quilting," Berg says. "With my patterns I try to give you projects that are creative, useful, but most of all, very doable." Inspired Star Block Quilts is a reflection of Sandy's passion as a Quilts of Valor volunteer. The mission of the Quilts of Valor Foundation is to cover service members and veterans touched by war with comforting and healing quilts. With the star-like patterns presented in Sandy's book, her quilts are not only excellent projects to hone your skills, they can also be repurposed for Quilts of Valor donations! Her own Salute to Service quilt, which has been shared widely as a suggested Quilts of Valor project, is available to re-create in this book. Sandy is passionate about providing people with fun and practical designs to spark their own "I want my patterns to be practical as well as fun to do," she says. "I hope that quilters will find something that captures their imagination and allows them to create something meaningful while expressing their own creativity." "Sandy's array of star quilts offers several patterns perfect for Quilts of Valor."
