I recently got to meet this lovely lady. She gave a seminar and trunk show at my local quilt shop and it was fabulous. She really is the queen of log cabin quilts. She could turn any pattern into a log cabin design. Did you know that she back stitches every machine pieced unit in her quilt unlike most quilters? Her husband was wonderful too.

I have never used a border from this book, but it has given me lots of ideas. If you really like to dress up a plain quilt or use up more fabric this is the book for you.

I have not focused on pieced borders much as a quilter, but when I have, I have realized there are alot of variables that make this challenging, and this book is an excellent resource

Don't always like their design ideas, but techniques and directions are helpful Main value as a reverence guidebook.
