After all I have only had the book in my position a couple of days. And no I have not made any of the quilts in the book…. ![]() Lots of pictures of pretty quilts with great layouts and beautiful free motion quilting. First reason to like the book is the great eye candy in it. I just got CABIN FEVER by Natalia Bonner and Kathleen Whiting. I have a number of young nieces and nephews who all show prefe.
