Martingale new book releases..

You kow how much I love Martingale and their books..

Well, here is a little look at the March releases (yes I know it's April but..)

Civil War Leagcies by Carol Hopkins.

I have Carol's first book and this one is just as good! I do love a good repro fabric and a scrappy quilt and this book shows them off fabulously! Most definitely on my to do list!
