SUMMARY- When I entered the Table of Contents I was perplexed - I knew that can't be right - and I looked closer at the cover. And she was right, of course. This is, indeed, a diamond log cabin. I was gobsmacked. I've seen log cabin take all sorts of interesting arrangements, but I'd never seen it done with diamonds.
The quilt on the cover is the project she named "Stained Glass". Just getting to see the many blocks she created with this pattern was worth the price admission - and then she gives you six stunning projects. A novice might not want to tackle this for their first project, but it is definitely something worth working up to.
