Book Review
"When you look at a quilt by Victoria, you're looking at a quilt that could never have been made in any other time these are 'now' quilts, 'today' quilts. What's really marvelous about it all is that Victoria actually makes this complex interplay enjoyable for people to replicate themselves, in their own studios, in their own quilts. No small feat."
