SUMMARY- The introduction let me know that the SCVQA started in 1975 - only two years before they started publishing this series of impressive quilt designs. I can easily see why this series of self-published books were on the QNM's 15th Anniversary Top 100 Quilting Books List. Design after design is so graceful - you're going to want to make more than one. These books are very hard to find. More of the same high quality that is found in their first book.
