Think about the quilt you are most proud to have made. Remember how rewarding and uplifting it felt to hear your creativity and skill praised as family and friends oooed and ahhhed over your handiwork? That feeling and more awaits you each time you display the extraordinary quilts you will make from Judy Martin’s Extraordinary Log Cabin Quilts.
This is more than just a quilt pattern book: It’s a way to announce, “I am proud to call myself a quilt maker, and this is how I choose to express myself!” Best of all, as you are basking in acclaim, only you will know how easy these quilts were to make. The most extraordinary thing about the quilts in Judy Martin’s new book is that they don’t require any special skills to make.
